Rev. Bradd Nymeyer is eminently qualified to do so for the URCNA Church Order. He believes in that church order as a matter of conviction, not simply convenience, and he has labored therein for decades with an eye to its particulars, not as an armchair observer, but often as a chairman of its governing bodies, serving five times as synodical chairman.

It will also serve readers as a useful introduction to those features of the Church Order that reflect the distinctive ethos of the URCNA and include some differences from other Reformed church orders. Although the URCNA’s Church Order clearly follows the general form of church government codified in the Church Order of Dort, it emphasizes the original and direct authority of the local church’s consistory in distinction from the delegated authority of broader assemblies (classes and synods). Nymeyer’s commentary reflects the wisdom and knowledge that comes from many years of able service in the URCNA, including several appointments to serve as clerk of classis and chairman of synod.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Aptos; mso-hansi-font-family: Aptos;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Cornelis P.

Pastor Vergunst wonderfully knits principles of God’s Word and personal experience into the fabric of this fine work. I especially appreciated the insights he shares in relation to the handling of grief-stricken children. He not only rightly acknowledges that children are often the “forgotten mourners” but also factors the truth that children do not think like adults (1 Cor. 13:11) into the helpful advice he provides.

I especially appreciated the insights he shares in relation to the handling of grief-stricken children.

In one of the first devotionals, we find Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” Kelderman uses the example of walking down a dark path in the woods to show the need for a light to guide you on the path. She applies this illustration to life itself, showing children why they need God’s Word to guide their everyday decisions and help them face the problems that come their way.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEach devotional is rooted in scripture and is applied to topics children face daily, such as standing up to bullies, disagreements with siblings, and fighting laziness.

The illustrations by Susanna Barnard are an excellent complement to each story.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhile the book could be read by children on their own, it is ideal to read and discuss as a family.

And what better way is there to introduce biblical truths to children than through warm instruction, real-life illustrations, and captivating stories, both from Scripture and from everyday life? In this clear, simple, engaging, practical, and biblical devotional for children, Donna Kelderman speaks much like a grandmother would speak to her grandchildren. Here is an excellent resource to point the young ones in your life to Christ, who invites them to come to Him and to find everlasting salvation in Him for the rest of their lives (Matt. 19:14).”\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Joel R.

The book consists of 31 well-written, easy to understand devotionals that explain Biblical word pictures and apply them to everyday living. In one of the first devotionals, we find Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” Kelderman uses the example of walking down a dark path in the woods to show the need for a light to guide you on the path. She applies this illustration to life itself, showing children why they need God’s Word to guide their everyday decisions and help them face the problems that come their way.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEach devotional is rooted in scripture and is applied to topics children face daily, such as standing up to bullies, disagreements with siblings, and fighting laziness. The devotionals end with a short paragraph to help children understand how to ask God for help in these situations. The book includes beautiful watercolor illustrations that draw the reader or listener in. The illustrations by Susanna Barnard are an excellent complement to each story.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhile the book could be read by children on their own, it is ideal to read and discuss as a family.

A Beneficial Volume
I have just begun to read, but find the historical survey, albeit brief, helpful and important, and appreciate the subjects addressed in the book. I look forward to completing the book, and thank the contributors for their work. I rejoice in where God has led us in these early years as a federation, and pray for our continued faithfulness to Him.

Great event
Thank you for everything: the dinner, the speech, the choir, and the prayers at the end. It is such a blessing to see churches unite with each other. May the Lord continue to bless this fellowship and use it.

Really good!
These Catechism materials are really good. It is refreshing to have material that does not shy away from the depths while still being relevant to students. These books can be used as workbooks for each student to have or as a resource for the teacher.

Creative Delivery
With all of their stock in Calgary for Synod, the Reformed Fellowship team worked with me by linking up with my pastor. They were able to get him a copy of the directory so he could bring it back for me. Very grateful for their flexibility.

Excellent resource!
Ever since this book was first published, I (a URC pastor) have used this book to train men for the offices of elder and deacon. It has been a great blessing, and our council of officers has returned to it regularly for a refresher. I'm so glad that it is in print.
