"The Evangelical Catechism" is a valuable resource for pastors, new church members, and confirmation classes, and is widely used by United Church of Christ congregations. Originally authorized by the Evangelical Synod of North America (which brought the catechism into the twentieth century) it focuses on the following essentials: the Ten Commandments; the Attributes of God; the Apostles' Creed; prayer; the sacrament of Holy Baptism; and the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. This revised edition has been refreshed with a more modern approach for United Church of Christ congregations in the twenty-first century.

In Courage to Stand: Profiles of Enduring Faith, John Stamper shares inspiring stories of courageous Christians who stood firm on God's Word, facing intense spiritual conflicts without wavering. Designed to support Bible study and devotional reading, this powerful book is a treasure trove for Christian families seeking to build godly character through the example of those who came before us. Each chapter of Courage to Stand takes readers on a journey through the lives of biblical figures, historical icons, and contemporary heroes of faith. These profiles are framed through the lens of the story of the three Hebrew children—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—whose faith in God led them through the fiery furnace of Babylon. Their story, though over 2,500 years old, resonates deeply with Christians today as we navigate our own spiritual conflicts in a fallen world. Stamper masterfully parallels the spiritual battles faced by these enduring figures with the struggles we experience today. He shows how, just as God was present with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, He is with us in our own fiery furnaces. Through these stories, you will find encouragement to stand courageously against the challenges in your life, holding tightly to the Lord and His promises. This book offers more than just historical insights; it’s a guide for building spiritual resilience. With each story, you’ll see how others have overcome their “Babylon,” faced their “Nebuchadnezzar,” endured their “fiery furnace,” and experienced God's unwavering presence through it all. Each inspiring story in Courage to Stand teaches three essential lessons drawn from Scripture: The Need to Strengthen Ourselves in the Lord (1 Samuel 30:6) The Call to Encourage and Strengthen One Another (1 Thessalonians 5:11) The Necessity of Remembering and Sharing the Works of God with the Next Generation (Psalm 78:4-7) As Stamper writes, "This book is all about lifting up the name of Jesus and prioritizing the Word of God. The only reason I’m pointing to the people in this book is because they first pointed to Jesus." Courage to Stand is a powerful resource for families, offering a wealth of stories that inspire courage, faith, and unwavering commitment to God’s Word. Whether used for family devotions or personal study, this book will encourage you to stand firm in your faith, no matter what spiritual conflicts you face.

If there is "nothing new under the sun," perhaps the main task now facing the Western church is not to reinvent or be relevant, but to remember. The truth of the gospel is still contained within vintage faith statements. Within creeds and catechisms we can have our faith strengthened, our knowledge broadened, and our love for Jesus deepened. 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 deals with man's guilt, God's grace, and believers' gratitude. This book is a clear-headed, warm-hearted exploration of the faith, simple enough for young believers and deep enough for mature believers. DeYoung writes, "The gospel summarized in the Heidelberg Catechism is glorious, its Christ gracious, its comfort rich, its Spirit strong, its God Sovereign, and its truth timeless." Come and see how your soul can be warmed by the elegantly and logically stated doctrine that matters most: We are great sinners and Christ is a greater Savior!

Evangelicals, argues Wells, have largely lost the truth that God also stands outside all human experience, that he still summons sinners to repentance and belief regardless of their self-image, and that he calls his church to stand fast in his truth against the blandishments of the modern world.
