The Truths of God's Word: A Student Catechism
Diana Kleyn and Joel Beeke
Christian Focus Publications, 2002
57 pages

This book has catechism questions that are divided among seven chapters. The chapters are: Who Is God?, Who Are We?, Who Should We Be?, How Can We Be What God Calls Us to Be?, What the Triune God Does to Save Sinners, The Church and the Sacraments, and Heaven and Hell. Each chapter ends with questions for discussion which makes this an excellent book to use in a group setting, perhaps in a Sunday school class or church catechism class for youth, or even as a home school curriculum. An example of a question from chapter one is number 8:

Question: "Is God good, even when bad things happen?" Answer: "Yes, God never does evil. God is good to us in showing us his salvation, though we deserve no good at all."

"Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way" (Psalm 25:8).

"Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance" (Romans 2:4).

Though this catechism was written for elementary school-aged children, I think memorizing, or even meditating on, these questions would benefit any person. Look for it online at www.heritagebooks.org
