The Collected Christian Essentials: Catechism A Guide to the Ten Commandments, the Apostles` Creed, and the Lord`s Prayer (Hardcover)

"The ancient catechism has sustained and nurtured every generation of Christians. The catechism-the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, and the Lord's Prayer-directs our love, faith, and hope. The Collected Christian Essentials: Catechism opens up the meaning of our faith and gives us words to offer back to God. In addition to featuring guides to the catechism from Ben Myers, Wesley Hill, and Peter J. Leithart, the book includes an order of prayer and twenty-four prayers based on the catechism. The Collected Christian Essentials is perfect for church use, small groups, or personal and family devotions"--
