Girls Gone Wise Part 1

Today, I have been eating a new book during my lunch time. I couldn't put that down at all. It is called Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild by Mary A. Kassian. It is great book to read for all women and girls too and even for those who are currently married, widow, single, engaged, or dating, and for all ages too. I will be posting more about it on my note and be posting on my blog, Lord willing!

I know that I have been a girl that had gone wild. We all have been wild even while we are a believer for Christ. Yes, that is the TRUTH and a big MAJOR OUCH too!

Here is a short video about Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild.

I have learned a lot in this book so far. I am looking forward to read next chapters and write about them.

Yes, I am learning a lot in a book from Girls Gone Wise! I love it so far. I learned two words in that and other special words with it meaning that I didn't know in the first place.

First the word was Stilettos. I didn't know that was a High Heels Shoe. Of course, I never have worn them due to bad ankle and knee and plus never had desire to wear that killer thing in the first place.

Second word was an old fashion word "wont" that I had to look up in the dictionary for that definition. Accustomed!

Third word was Simple from Proverbs 1:22. Now, I now know what simple means in that sense. It means Being unwilling to learn or do what is right. All the time, my definition was something easy to deal with and nothing too hard and stick to the basic and nothing more after that.

I am indeed learning a lot in this. Also, I am watching video online for each chapters (I have watch “Introduction” Wild Thing, and Chapter 1: Heart) and have download questions and printed out for me to answer. I am so thankful for this.

There are 20 Points of Contrast in this book.

Lord willing, I will be posting this each time I finish each chapters on my facebook to encourage others to get this book and to watch the video too. Also, I will be posting it in my blog as well too.

I know that I had been a girl that had gone wild. I am glad and thankful that I am a girl that want to be wise and for Christ alone too. The Lord is so good.They also do have a wonderful website that you can go to and learn a lot from them. Girls Gone Wise I would encourage you all to check this out and get that book too!

Been So Busy!

Sorry, I haven't written a post since January 6th. I have been so busy getting red tape things done that I need to have it done. They are no fun to do them. With the Lord helps, I was able to do most of them. I still have some more to do. Please do pray for me and for the wisdom that I need to have Also pray for Loan Modification too even though I am caught up paying my first mortgage. I still do need to lower down my house payment. I am still waiting for some paper work to come through which should be here this month before it is over. I also have been working at Odds and Ends job which is a true joy to do for the Lord.

Now, here I am. As of January 1st, I have been eating His Word by using Justin Nale's Bible Reading Plan. I am hanging in there and enjoying it. I am so thankful for this Daily Bible Reading Plan that is perfect for me. I haven't miss a day on this which is a praise. I normally wake up early in the morning and have this for my breakfast with my ear turned off but turn on my spiritual ear to hear Him speaking to me as I am eating His Word.

Have you started a Bible Reading Plan for yourself for this year? If not, it isn't too late to start this wonderful godly habit to have a Daily Bible Reading Plan. Not sure about what kind of Bible Reading Plan, click on that link, and it will take you to other kind of Bible Reading Plan.

I also have been reading John Piper's book on Finally Alive. I am so in love with this wonderful book. I am so thankful for this wonderful book that explain the difference between the worldly view of Born Again and the Biblical view of Born Again. I totally 100% agree with Biblical view of Born Again. I also now do understand why I have been so frustrated with people who claimed that they are born again. I tend to be Thomas the Doubted about that they are born again when their life doesn't reflect that. We all need to educated those who does claim to be born again what Biblical Born Again really do means.

As of last night, I have started reading The Mortification of Sin by John Owen. I know that I will be learning a lot from this wonderful book. (By the way, I haven't finish reading Finally Alive, but I will soon.) I am reading The Mortification of Sin by John Owen with Mount Hermon Missionary Baptist Church in Rocky Mount on Wednesday night. We share and answer questions what we are learning in this book. I am looking for the next Wednesday night that is February 16th with them again. (It isn't every Wednesday night for this study.) This is more like having Theological Studies again. I love to be in a group like this. I truly do miss having Tuesday Morning Theological Breakfast that my wonderful church family (Christ Baptist Church of Wilson) had.

What Book Are You Currently Reading?

Question: What book (not counting the Bible) are you currently reading that is challenging to you to live your life for Christ?

I am currently reading Finally Alive by John Piper and can't wait to read more tonight. I am still in the first chapter and am a slow reader since I am a digger. I am really enjoying this book and learning a lot too. I am so thankful for John Piper and his love for Christ. I do have a lot of his books and so thankful for them too.

I do want to encourage you all to get a wonderful godly book to read that will challenge you to live your life for Christ or to help you to understand His Word with the Holy Spirit better, and also to grow more in love for Christ!

Reading His Word is the best of all. We should do that daily without any question of doubt. I do want to encourage you all that you also get wonderful godly books to read to get to know Christ better too.

If you don't know what books to get, then look up on this blog and click on Books! There you will see what books I had read. They are the books that I do want to encourage other to read. I will continue to update that link. I will not post any books that I don't want others to read but only post books that I would encourage other to read.

I do hope that your church does have a book table for you to look through and buy them. If not, Desiring God does have a lot of wonderful books to read. Where to find wonderful godly books? You can go to Westminter Bookstore, Monergism Books, and Crossway Books. I just listed a few bookstore that you can buy online.

The Trellis and the Vine Part 2!

Last night, we in our Care Group finish reading, studying, and discussing about The Trellis and the Vine. It is a wonderful book for us to read and learn a lot from it. I am so thankful that we all did this. I can see how helpful this book is for us at Christ Baptist Church of Wilson. (Back in October, I wrote a blog about reading this book in our Care Group.)

I truly to believe that every new church or little church (under 120 members) need to read this wonderful book. But again it is for every church no matter how large they are. It will be trickier for a very large church in my personal opinion to get this start. If you just start a new church, please don't put this off. You will be thankful for this wonderful book, and it will help the church in a lot of way.

All of us, believers for Christ are both disciples and disciple-makers for Christ. We all do need to point and encourage one another to Christ daily.

The growth of the number in church isn't that important but disciplining, and reaching out to others, and pointing others to Christ is far more important.

There are a lot of good resources that you can use from this. Matthias Media, The Ministry Training Strategy, Two Ways to Live

Deaf: Special Phone and their Relay Server!

I just wrote another blog about What kind of phone or phone server do you use? on my other blog for the deaf. Yes, I do have another blog for the deaf that is A Heart for the Deaf. I don't write much on that compared to this BoldLion's blog.

I would encourage you all to read that blog that I just wrote. Please do try to understand from us, deaf how I had been dealing with phone problem. I do hope that my deaf friends will comment on that blog too how they too had been dealing with phone problem. I am looking forward to learn more from them.

I would also encourage you all to use relay when you are calling your deaf friends or clients. We do need you all to to dial their special relay phone number first before dialing their phone number. That will help us a lot in a great deal and cut down a lot of frustration and redheaded hot temper too.

I shouldn't be having redheaded hot temper, but I do confess that I did when I am facing a lot of phone problem too. I know that isn't Christ-Like of me. Please do help us not to lose redheaded hot temper. Please do forgive me.

Now, I do know that some of their phone server is automated that you don't have to dial relay server phone number first. But that isn't true for every case. That does vary to what kind of phone and phone server they do have. When I do get my CapTel 800i, you will not need to dial relay phone number because that will be automated.

If your hard of hearing or oral educated deaf friend, like me, does use CapTel phone, please don't talk way too fast for them because it doesn't caption that fast on their CapTel phone as fast as you are talking.

I do believe that this will encourage one another when you do call your deaf / hard of hearing friends in the right way.

If you do have a friend who is hard of hearing or does have hearing problem and a lot of problem understanding on the phone, and I would encourage you all to tell your friend about this wonderful CapTel phone. This CapTel phone is made for us oral educated deaf and for hard of hearing. I am so thankful for this wonderful technology too. The Lord is so good.

My View on Yoga!

I am aware of all the uproar what Albert Mohler wrote about Yoga and his view about it. I too agree with him in this case. But I did like to share with you about my view as well.

Back in the late '80 or early '90, I never had heard of yoga until I had been reading one of the Frank E. Peretti's books. I don't remembered which one it was. It is either This Present Darkness or Piercing the Darkness. In that book, Frank had written about yoga, and I didn't like that kind of evil spiritual relaxing idea of yoga the way they were sitting in special positions and meditating. It was too creepy for me to even think about it. Also I felt like that they would try to hypnotize you during your relaxing time of your own meditation into their kind of evil meditation into your mind. This is what scare me the most to even think about that. So therefore, I never like the thought of yoga and the purpose of yoga. I still do not like it even to today.

Why should we mixed yoga which is strange kind of meditation idea into our godly meditation? We shouldn't intermarriage both kind meditation together. We can only serve one God and not serve both. We all need to guard our heart, mind, and soul for Christ Alone and only for Him.

Let look into the Bible how we should meditated on His Word. There are a lot in the book of Psalm. I will quote some from New American Standard Bible (NASB), but the rest will be English Standard Version (ESV). First, let look at Joshua 1:8 and then rest of the Psalms.

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua 1:8 ESV

1 :1 Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree (firmly)
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers. Psalm 1:1-3 ESV (I had memorized this in NASB which will use the word "firmly" see above.)

4 Tremble, and do not sin;
Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Psalm 4:4 NASB

4 One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD
And to meditate in His temple. Psalm 27:4 NASB

6 when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night; Psalm 63:6 ESV

3 When I remember God, I moan;
when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah Psalm 77:3 ESV

6 I said, “Let me remember my song in the night;
let me meditate in my heart.”
Then my spirit made a diligent search: Psalm 77:6 ESV

12 I will ponder all your work,
and meditate on your mighty deeds. Psalm 77:12 ESV

15 I will meditate on your precepts
and fix my eyes on your ways. Psalm 119:15 ESV

23 Even though princes sit plotting against me,
your servant will meditate on your statutes. Psalm 119:23 ESV

27 Make me understand the way of your precepts,
and I will meditate on your wondrous works. Psalm 119:27 ESV

48 I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love,
and I will meditate on your statutes. Psalm 119:48 ESV

78 Let the insolent be put to shame,
because they have wronged me with falsehood;
as for me, I will meditate on your precepts. Psalm 119:78 ESV

5 I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all that you have done;
I ponder the work of your hands. Psalm 143:5 ESV

5 On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. Psalm 145:5 ESV

We can meditate on His Word as we are eating His Word, driving, waiting, sleeping, walking, and jogging. When we exercise, we can meditate on His Word without that yoga kind of idea.

The Trellis and the Vine!

I am so thankful that we, at Christ Baptist Church of Wilson for the Care Group are studying and reading The Trellis and the Vine by Colin Marshall and Tony Payne. I am learning a lot there and still have a lot to learn. We just started the first chapter last night. There are 12 chapters in this book.

Here is a wonderful book review link: The Trellis and the Vine from blogger Tim Challies and in this review you will see a video clip of Mark Dever, who is the Senior Pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC. It is a great video to watch and very easy to understand him.

I would encourage you all to get this book which is available through Westminster Book. I am sorry that this book is not available through Amazon.

Please do check out their wonderful website that is Matthias Media, the publisher of this book, and you will see a lot of wonderful interesting tools in there too.

I am looking forward to learn a lot through this book and other books offer through Matthias Media.

Listen Up! by Christopher Ash

On Sunday, October 3rd, we, the member of Christ Baptist Church of Wilson during the member meeting got a booklet of Listen Up! A practical guide to listening to sermons by Christopher Ash. The next day, I read through out that booklet of 30 pages. I would encourage you all to get this booklet and read it.

Here is the link to an excellent review of this book: Becoming a Better Listener and of course, Tim had posted other books as well as Listen Up! in that same review.

This booklet will challenge us to keep our pastor on his toe as he is preaching His Word to us, sheep. We, sheep all do need to hold the pastor accountable as he is preaching his sermon with His Word.

4 :1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 2 Timothy 4:1-5 ESV

Children's Catechism by Open Door!

I had to leap for joy when I learned that Open Door Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC who is our church planter does have Children's Catechism. I had to share it with you all.

I know that I am currently learning Desiring God's A Baptist Catechism which is a very challenging ones. I am aware the one that I am currently using is not for children, but it is more for the adult. We, adult, do need to learn this too. Although, I would encourage you all to do both even if you don't have any children at all. Learning the easy ones can help us in a great deal. I am looking forward to learn the Children's Catechism too.

Eating His Word Daily for 2011

It is a real challenge to be eating His Word Daily as a One Year Bible Reading plan. This is my second year of doing this. The first year was in English Standard Version (ESV), and this year is in New American Standard Bible (NASB).

As I had been eating His Word in One Year Bible Reading Plan, I realized that I want to be eating His Word in One Year Chronological Bible Reading Plan in the year of 2011. But when I saw what kind of reading plan that was, and I wasn't too happy about that. Why? Because I was hoping that it would include both Old Testament, New Testament, Psalm and Proverbs for Daily Bible reading in Chronological Bible Reading Plan. When I saw that didn't include that. But the One Year Bible Reading Plan did. MMMM!!!

Now, I am trying to find a different Chronological Bible Reading Plan that will included both Old Testament, New Testament, Psalm and Proverbs for Daily Bible reading plan. I especially want Chronological in the Old Testament to keep my head clear and thinking straight through. Now, the New Testament doesn't have to be Chronological because I can easily grasp it clearly without any problem.

Does anyone understand what I am getting here? Is there any Bible Reading plan like what I am talking about out there? I do hope that you all can help me to find that kind of reading plan!

We all do need to be eating His Word daily.

BoldLion vs. Real Lion in Soccer Dream!

Yesterday, I had a very crazy dream during my afternoon power nap time. I was dreaming that I was playing soccer with a real Lion who like to play soccer. It was a very cool kind of dream. I wouldn't mind to do that for real! Yes, I am that crazy to think about that too!

I do love Lion and would love to have them for a pet! I am not joking about that. I had held two of them before. The first one in 1993 with my Daddy, but he didn't like it, and the second one in 2005 on my own. One of them was at 3 months and the other were at 6 months old. I would love to hold them again.

Someone in my family said that I had been watching too much of Bedknobs and Broomsticks. The answer is "No!", and I haven't seen that movies what seems like a thousand years. Really, I don't watch movies any more.

Recently, I had been very involve at the Christ Baptist Soccer Camp for Kids and had a blast to be involved in that. I was playing with 3 years old little girl and 1 1/2 little boy. I was kicking the soccer ball to them and for them to kick to me. They were not on the team with the older kids learning to play soccer. What a joy to do this for them. I know that I am looking forward to have this again next year, Lord willing!

Actually, I had watch a short video clip last year about a Lion name Christian. There is a book for A Lion Called Christian. I haven't read that book but have seen it.

Do you ever get a very crazy dream something like this or different but crazy?

The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman

As a wonderful homework assignment from Boundless Summer Challenge Task 4 I had to review The Five Love Languages.

The review The Five Love Languages. (You can go to this website to learn a lot more about this. It isn't just for married couple only.)

But I read this book: The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman ~ How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate. I had borrow this wonderful book from a wonderful friend of mine. I am thankful that I did that. (I don't see this one on their website. But I do think it had changed to The Five Love Languages ~ The Secret to Love that Lasts.)

Yes, I did learned a lot as I read this book even though it is written for marriage couple who are having problem with their marriage.

Gary had written other The Five Love Languages as well that is for Children, Teenagers, Singles, and others. I hadn't read those yet and his other books too. I would love to get The Five Love Languages, Single Edition.

Scandalous by D.A. Carson Part 2

Sometimes ago, I had finish reading Scandalous by D.A. Carson. It is a very interesting and educational book to read. I had learned a lot in this book.

There are 5 different chapters. The Ironies of the Cross: Matthew 27:27-51a, The Center of the Whole Bible: Romans 3:21-26, The Strange Triumph of a Slaughtered Lamb: Revelation 12, A Miracle Full of Surprises: John 11:1-53, and Doubting the Resurrection of Jesus: John 20:24-31. He used NIV in this book, but I am linking it to ESV.

Every chapter is very interesting, and he will explain the meaning of the passage and the point why this had to happened.

Revelation is a very hard book to read. I had learned a lot in this book about Revelation 12 and am thankful for that. Without the explaining it to me, I would be so lost trying to understand it.

In John 20:24-31, I had learned a lot especially in John 20:28 on how the Jehovah's Witnesses find it difficult to accept this verse at face value. We all know that they (Jehovah's Witnesses) do not believe that Jesus is truly God.

I did have problem with NIV in John 20:26. Why?

In John 20:26 NIV:
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"

In John 20:26 ESV:
26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

In my mind, I kept telling myself, I thought it was Eight days later and not a week later. I did check in other translations such as KJV, NKJV, AMP, NASB, and many more on my Palm Pilot could hold all that translations. All of them used, "Eight days later". MMMM! To me, a week later is equal to seven days later and not eight days later. I kept telling myself that I might be counting its wrong. So, I wrote that down.

So, I had to ask myself, "Is a week later equal to 7 days later?", or "Is a week later equal to 8 days later?". I remembered the number 8 and was specific about that which caused me to look that up. My memory can be driving me up the wall to be very specific.

I email this question to a wonderful friend and learned from her. The Greek is "And after eight days." I would love to learn to read the Greek and Hebrews. I am thankful for someone who can read it for me.

No wonder why I never had been crazy about NIV and always prefer other translations.

See my other post about this Scandalous by D.A. Carson that I first wrote.

Stop Dating the Church by Joshua Harris!

I had been reading Stop Dating the Church by Joshua Harris. It is a wonderful book to read. I would encourage you all to read his book even though you aren't dating the church. It is a very easy reading book to read, and it can be read in one day.

This book is a wonderful tools to help you to find a church home that you ought to be part of. Also this book is a wonderful tools for us to encourage other how very important it is be part of the church family.

Don't let it stop you from going to church. Please do find a wonderful church home for you to be rooted in and be part of. You will be thankful when you do this. It will change your life.

After reading this book, and you aren't sure about the doctrine or other things. There are number of wonderful books that you can read that is:

This book does have 528 pages including index and glossary. It is an very educational book to read. This book will also help you to define your own doctrinal convictions. Last year (2009),I had read most of it and not all of it with Tuesday Morning Theological Breakfast with my wonderful church family. I am so thankful for this book. Sometimes, I still do look it up to full understand about others strange doctrine that didn't sound right to me.

I do pray that you will find a wonderful church home to be part of a wonderful church family. As for me, I am so thankful for my wonderful church family. If I have to move due to my job or whatever reason, I know without any doubt, that I would say that I will have to uproot my wonderful church family and move them with me. I do thank the Lord for them.

I do want to share with you this passages.

24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV

What Would Be My Favorite iPhone apps?

I know that a lot of people do have iPhone or Palm. I am way out of date. I don't even have iPhone or updated Palm.

I do have Palm Pilot that is T-E not T-E2 that I got for myself for my birthday present in 2004. It still does work which is a praise, but on the other hand I can't download anything into it since I do have Window Vista on this computer. OUCH!

At this present time, I can't afford to get one until I do have a better paying job to get one. Unless, I won a contest with the Lord blessing.

Now, if I do have iPhone or updated Palm, this is what I would love to have on it.

ESV Bible which is a must to have. (Of course, I will still have my ESV Bible in book form every where I go. I am still old fashion.)

Laridian Pocket Bible ~ I brought this wonderful PocketBible ever since I had my very first Palm Pilot that was m125, before my T-E which is my second current one. I love it and couldn't do without this PocketBible. I got about 12 Bible Translations and other things in that. I know that without any question of doubt I will have this on the updated Palm, or iPhone, or whatever. This is a must to have.

Gmail apps for me to check on my email away from home.

Dictionary ~ I am that bad and got to have that with me. I would love to have it with Thesaurus too.

Sprint WebCapTel on the Go! This is when I can talk to someone and read what they said on it. They do have it on select BlackBerry. I will have to dig more information into that. Sprint Relay Store! (I am aware that many of you will not want this, but I am deaf "hard of hearing" and can talk. This will help me a lot without having to be texting back and forth.) I am not a texter, but I do when needed. I would encourage you to check this out even though you might not be deaf. It is very cool for the deaf like us. Please do share this with your hard of hearing friends or deaf friends too.

Twitter ~ I might put on it, but I don't know if I really want to do that or not. This is a bit different from facebook though. But on the other hand, it will help me to enter into some contest to win a free book.

Photo ~ I would love to show off my furry children on it like I have on my Palm Pilot. (I don't even have a Digital Camera either.) I might have that on either iPhone or Palm. I rather have a nice real digital camera though. Yes, I am still out of date for not having a digital camera.

I would love to listen to Justin's sermons and Sovereign Grace music on it. Also be able to surf the web for weather and things that are very important.

Tasks and Memos ~ I would love to have Microsoft Word, OneNotes, and Excel (maybe PowerPoint) on my Palm. I am sure that iPhone doesn't have that since that is a Mac or Apple. I do have Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 on this computer.

Facebook ~ I wouldn't put facebook on it, so that I will not be spending too much time on that. That will stay at home on my computer. I do plead guilty about spending too much time on it.

I am not interesting in putting games into it and other trashy stuffs.

I am sure that they are other wonderful things that I would love to add on it it.

Scandalous by D.A. Carson

Tonight, I had started reading Scandalous by D.A. Carson this time with color pen, highlighter, notebook paper, and Bible of course. I went back to the beginning of it again because I reading it when I was having my lunch break at work but without the tools that I needed.

Back in March, I had won this book through Allen Mickle, Jr.'s blog. Thank you, Allen Mickle, Jr.

So tonight, I had my dinner date with D.A. Carson "by reading his book and not him in person" and Scandalous. Yes, I did read the copyright page which I always do. I wrote "OUCH!", when I learned the translation that D. A. Carson was using. He was using NIV and not ESV. Then I had to reminded myself that D.A. Carson had approved of TNIV or go to another link, and another link. Again OUCH! Here is the link that is against TNIV. I am against TNIV too. I am not trying to put down D.A. Carson over his use of translation.

On the other hand, Scandalous was published by Crossway this year and also the publisher of ESV "English Standard Version". My thought was, "Why did Crossway allowed NIV and not using ESV?". I thought that was very odd. Although, nothing wrong with NIV. I am so thankful that they didn't use TNIV. I am not against NIV, nor I am not anti-NIV. But still I thought that it is very odd.

In spite of the fact that NIV translation is being uses in this book, I have already had enjoy and learning from this book, Scandalous. I am on page 20 now. I still have a long way to go. It is a interesting book so far.

The truth is that I am not crazy or am not intoxicated about NIV. I am crazy and intoxicated about ESV because it is word for word translation. The reason why I am not crazy about NIV, because NIV is a combination of word for word and thought for thought.

Lord willing, I will write a book review about this and will give you the other godly book review links about this book as well.

More information about Catechisms!

Since I had started to memorize or to study A Baptist Catechism, and I wanted to learn more about other kinds of Catechism as well. I do hope that you are too.

I found out that the catechism that I am using is available in book form through Desiring God. You can order A Baptist Catechism through them.

There are information about children's catechisms. You can go to Why Catechize Kids? I haven't yet asked my pastor about what Catechism that they are using for their children.

I just read a blog post by Tim Challies, and it is about Catechism again. He also had written another post about The Benefits of the Catechisms.
