This resource is perfect for catechumens, confirmands, and anyone wanting to receive not only greater knowledge of the Luther's Small Catechism but also the gift of faith, trust, and hope that expresses itself in heartfelt, confident, Spirit-filled prayer.When it comes to the Catechism, “the Word (the first three Parts) and the Sacraments (the second three Parts) teach us our whole life as Christians.
The Catechism, covering these ‘Chief Parts’ is thereby showing us the whole Bible. In fact, to know the Catechism is to know the whole Bible and everything you need to know to be a Christian.” (CPB, Introduction, v)The Catechism is also important when it comes to prayer. “Since prayer does not come naturally, it is good to have words to pray so that our wandering hearts and minds are kept to our Lord’s Word and promises. The prayers in this book tune our minds to God’s Word and promises, His Law and Gospel, to trust in Him for all things, using the words we learn in the Catechism.” (CPB, How to Use This Book, vi)
