Written by William Boekestein, Illustrated by Evan Hughes
The Heidelberg Catechism has been taught to Reformed Christian children everywhere for hundreds of years, encouraging them to memorize it and to seek Christ as their true source of comfort. But how did this catechism get written? In The Quest for Comfort, William Boekestein and Evan Hughes combine history and art to retell the events that led to making the catechism. By sharing the stories of its authors Caspar Olevianus and Zacharias Ursinus, and their benefactor Frederick III, a German count, and how they came to Heidelberg, children will gain a greater appreciation of the Christian faith as it is expressed in the Heidelberg Catechism.
Hardcover, 40 pages, illustrated
