The Bible is full of poetic devices like alliteration and rhyme (Psalm 119). The lesson from the Bible’s use of such devices is this: they help us retain and remember the things we hear and read. Kerry Regnier’s use of rhyme in taking each of the chapters of the 1689 Confession and distilling them into 1-4 rhyming stanzas is, thus, a very commendable attempt to make our wonderful Confession more accessible for children of all ages. I commend both the effort and the book to your use as parents.

When the 1689 Confession was first published, it included a letter to its readers. Among other things in the letter, parents were exhorted to instruct their families in the truths of Holy Scripture. This brief book simplifies that task by summarizing doctrines in short poems and verses of Scripture for memorization. I urge parents who love the truth and love their children to use it for the good of their souls.
