Building Foundations: A Baptist Catechism and Bible Memory Book for Families

Each child is a reflection of their upbringing. "Bad roots make bad fruits," is what we hear. We've all seen children that are horribly behaved, who are terribly rude and disrespectful and we just wonder WHERE are their parents? This is not how we're raising our children!

But how are we doing raising our children? Are we committed to developing their habits, behaviors, and attitudes? How do our children stack up? Do other parents not mention the coarse behavior of our kids, while we just think everything is okay and slightly laugh off their faults?

What parents and children both need is to have time specifically devoted to developing strong character. Parents need time being teachers to their children, raising them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Children need time spent with parents in focused instruction on all the various subjects and behaviors that come up in life: how to work hard, how to forgive others, how to overlook their neighbor's shortcomings. Every parent and child need a reminder that there are foundational principles from which to build their future. The most foundational principle to learn is that we were all created by God and created for a purpose. We are not mistakes and while we may be rough around the edges, God's truths have the perfect refining qualities we need.

Building Foundations was designed for families that don't want to raise those "other" kids. It is for families that are willing to commit the time and energy to train their children for the future.

This simple bible memory and catechism booklet covers all the critical aspects of the life of faith. Through basic memorization and resuscitation between parent and child, each family will be strengthened in the firm foundations of perseverance, character, and hope.

None of us want to raise hooligans, but are we willing to put forth the effort to prevent it? Each parent has to answer that question for themselves.

If you are ready to build strong foundations, now is the time to get started.
