Small Talks on Big Questions: A Historical Companion to the Children's Catechism

Parents and teachers who want to ground children in Christian doctrine will find Small Talks on Big Questions an invaluable tool. Its stories from the Bible and church history illustrate the doctrinal truths in A catechism for boys and girls (adapted from the Westminster Shorter Catechism).

Scripture texts and questions for discussion are provided at the end of each story to help parents and children to think through how these truths have changed people's lives throughout history-and how they can change people's lives now.

Selah Helms is a homeschooling mother of four—Andrew, Caleb, Elisabeth and Peter. From the time the children were small, she and her husband Doug, now a pastor in Crowley, Texas, instructed the family in doctrinal truth and its practical implications for the way people live.

Susan Thompson is no longer practicing law in Austin, but is now a seminary student in Dallas, Texas. Her avid interest in doctrine and church history was sparked a few years ago during a leadership conference for Bible Study Fellowship.

The authors, friends since they worked together on a college magazine staff, teamed up to produce this book in a desire to delight and instruct children with the essential truths of Christian doctrine and the amazing impact it has had on people’s lives through history.
