Approved in 1663, The Heidelberg Catechism is still used and admired today for its clear, comforting summary of Christian truths.

Starr Meade's Comforting Hearts, Teaching Minds expands the catechism into a devotional for families of children aged 5-12. Short, child-appropriate readings for six days of the week unpack the answers to The Heidelberg's 129 questions alongside pertinent Scripture references. Although the Heidelberg was originally divided into 52 "Lord's Days," Meade divides longer answers into two weeks so that they can be explored in full, meaning the devotional can be used for a year or longer.
