These workbooks were developed by a homeschool mother wanting to have worksheets to assist her daughter toward a better explanation and understanding of The Westminster Shorter Catechism book. As other mothers interested in the program started asking her where she got her worksheets, this book evolved. Especially helpful in familiarizing your student with the Shorter Catechism, these workbooks will also assist him or her in memorization. Each section contains 2-4 lessons that begin with a question. Within each section are a detailed explanation to the question, fill-in-the blank sentences, and Bible verses relating to the topic of discussion. Next is a "Let's Think" page, which are questions that promote a deeper understanding of the material as well as how to apply it to life situations. The goal is to help the child think through life problems and situations that arise, and find answers using scriptural principles. These workbooks are nicely organized and are sure to be an asset to your student's study of the Scriptures, and of their applications. Presently, six workbooks are available. However, the author anticipates producing ten catechism workbooks to cover the entire Westminster Shorter Catechism. Please email Caroline at cweerstra@yahoo.com for answers to the exercises. ~ Gina
