THE SHORTER CATECHISM ILLUSTRATED
by John Whitecross

This unusual volume follows the doctrinal structure of the classic Puritan catechism, expanding each doctrinal point not with exposition, as is customary, but with many factual stories well selected by the author from a wide range of sources.

Thus, such subjects as Providence, Prayer and The Ten Commandments are illuminated with telling, and sometimes, fascinating narratives.

The Shorter Catechism Illustrated was first published in 1828, and has passed through many editions and revisions to benefit a greater usefulness.

John Whitecross, a schoolmaster, knew well what would gain the attention of the young.  The book can be recommended for children, but provides general interest and instruction to all readers.  It is a valuable treasury of illustrative matter for use in the home, school or church where the primary work and responsibility reside in effecting Biblical instruction for the followers of Christ.
