“Looking through The New City Catechism Devotional, I am moved. This new teaching tool is more than interesting; it is stirring. Why? Because it makes glorious theology readily accessible to us all. We can stand against the man-centered worldview coming at us only with an alternative, God-centered worldview, a total seeing of reality with new eyes. Piecemeal theology will not help us. But a comprehensive theology can strengthen us for our times. The task of teaching that new worldview just became easier for every pastor, every parent, and every teacher, thanks to The New City Catechism. It is a significant step forward in the gospel resurgence of our times.” 
Ray Ortlund, Lead Pastor, Immanuel Church, Nashville, Tennessee; council member, The Gospel Coalition; President, Renewal Ministries; author, Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel

“Simply written, accessibly presented, and with a wealth of wisdom from different cultures and centuries, this devotional does not just teach God’s Word—it delights in it. All Christians would benefit from considering these questions and reflecting on the answers.”
Andrew Wilson, Pastor, Kings Church Eastbourne, East Sussex; author, If God, Then What? and Unbreakable

“If the word catechism makes your eye twitch, twitch no more. The New City Catechism Devotional offers teachers, parents, and those young in their faith a tool that communicates basic doctrine in fifty-two straightforward steps. Harmonizing wisdom from voices both ancient and modern, it invites us to methodically internalize the categories by which we understand our faith, reechoing the good news for a new generation of believers. I am grateful for this resource.” 
Jen Wilkinauthor, Women of the Word and None Like Him; Bible Teacher

“One of the best ways to use our time in this age is to pass on our faith to others. I am always on the lookout for ways to help me in my effort in explaining Christianity to my children and my neighbors. If you have longed for more confidence in answering spiritual questions while staying faithful to the Word of God, then catechetical instruction will help you tremendously. If you yourself are the one asking the questions, look no further. The New City Catechism Devotional is perhaps the most concise and accessible resource I have read—the questions are immediately relevant in every culture, the language is easily understood or translatable, and the brilliance of the gospel radiates in every page.” 
Gloria Furman, author, The Pastor's WifeMissional Motherhood, and Alive in Him 

The New City Catechism Devotional is a beautifully written, gospel-focused guide to Christian life and doctrine. This catechism is just as useful in family devotions or in workplace discipleship as in the pulpit or in church small groups.” 
Russell D. Moore, President, The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention; author, Onward

This book has been an invaluable resource in our corporate, family, and individual worship and study of God's Word. We appreciate the in-depth commentaries from historical and contemporary champions of faith as well as the simplicity of the questions and answers. I highly recommend this to all people of faith. May it be used to draw the Church closer to the Truth and God's will.

I requested an eARC of this title then later purchased the hardcover edition through our local church. The opinions expressed are my own.

This book is excellent for personal or family devotional times. The commentary from great men of the faith was wonderful. This is a great tool for teaching your children basic theology. The format of question and answer followed by scripture and commentary is an excellent way to absorb theological truths.
