Come and See, Our World Belongs to God: A Discipleship Manual for Followers of Jesus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781460009307)

A wise elder asked, "If you are not going to teach the Heidelberg Catechism, what will you offer in its place?" Our World Belongs to God was adopted by Synod of 1986 (revised 2007) as a Contemporary Testimony. This discipleship manual, Come and See..., divides the 58 paragraphs of the Contemporary Testimony into 25 weekly lessons, best suited for grade 11 and 12 students. In each lesson, students are introduced to and engaged and educated in faith formation from a reformed perspective. Come and See... will help students, new believers, and members alike have a clearer understanding of who God is and who we are, using God's Word.
