Publisher Description

In The Good News We Almost Forgot, Kevin DeYoung explores the Heidelberg Catechism and writes 52 brief chapters on what it has shown him. The Heidelberg is largely a commentary on the Apostle's Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer, and the book deals with man's guilt, God's grace, and believers' gratitude. The result is a clear-headed, warm-hearted exploration of the faith, simple enough for young believers and deep enough for mature believers.

As DeYoung writes, The gospel summarized in the Heidelberg Catechism is glorious, it's Christ gracious, it's comfort rich, it's Spirit strong, it's God Sovereign, and it's truth timeless. Come and see how your soul can be warmed by the elegantly and logically laid out doctrine that matters most: we are great sinners and Christ is a greater Savior!

"Oh how beautiful is the Heidelberg Catechism! As a Baptist I am an odd bird, for Baptist are not by nature fans of confessions and catechisms. Though those of us who are Calvinistic in our leanings have an appreciation for them. We see them as handles or summations of the Scriptures. They have no authority other us in themselves; but are beautiful expressions of those doctrines we hold so dear. Do I agree with everything embodied in the Heidelberg? No, neither do agree to everything in the Westminster Catechism. I take issue with infant baptism; but that's OK, the subject is not a core issue reflecting upon salvation and/or the character of God."

    " I had never read the Heidelberg Catechism before and this was a great way to go about it. The HC is divided into 52 Lord's day readings and DeYoung adds three to four pages of devotional commentary along the way. It made me want to read the HC more regularly. "

    " Cracking book. Set out in tiny chapters covering a year of Sundays, so great for people who "don't read". Clear and concise presentation of the Heidelburg Catechism, brought bang up to date with some pithy lines and wise words. "

    " I really like the writing style of Mr. DeYoung, and again this book does not dissapoint. However, I don't agree with all that is said, however, this is a great catachism to not only read but more importantly study to get a clearer view of your faith and of Jesus Christ. "
