In Search of Solace

The Heidelberg Catechism has been taught to children for hundreds of years, encouraging them to seek Christ as their true source of comfort. But how was this catechism written? In In Search of Comfort, William Boekestein and Evan Hughes combine history and art to recount the events that led to the creation of the catechism. By sharing the stories of Caspar Olevianus, Zacharias Ursinus, and Frederick III, and how they came to Heidelberg, children will better appreciate the Christian faith as presented in the Heidelberg Catechism.

"I am grateful for this little book, in which the catechism is presented to another generation of children, so that they may come to treasure it as much as I do." Tim Challies, editor of DiscerningReader.com

"The Heidelberg Catechism has been used to disciple thousands of children, youth, and adults for over 400 years. In this book, Boekestein tells us the fascinating story of its origin. CLIR is pleased to offer this account of such a beloved catechism, so that new young generations can know and appreciate it." William Green, author of "Will Our Children Serve God?"
