The Good News We Almost Forgot by Kevin DeYoung

"A catechism is simply a means of instruction by posting a series of questions about God and humankind, and answering those questions from the Bible" (Jerry Bridges from the forward, page 10). That is exactly what The Good News We Almost Forgot is all about. Kevin DeYoung takes the Heidelberg Catechism and answers questiona regarding the Apostles' Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer (or I refer to as the model prayer).

This book is jammed-packed with theological truths in short chapters. Each chapter begins to ask questions and they are answered at the same time. As mentioned earlier this book is divided into three sections as the Catechism answers questions on the Apostles' Creed, which discusses the doctrine of Heaven and Hell and addresses if Jesus actually descended into Hell. Next, is the Ten Commandments, which goes through each commandment in light of the New Testament. Finally, on the Lord's Prayer and how we need to be a praying people.

There is so much theological truth in this book that will probably take me all week to fill this entire entry and it might take you to two weeks to read this review. I highly recommend this book and I know I will be rereading this book and use it for reference.

I received this book from Moody Publishers for the purposes of reviewing it.
