Grounded in the Faith: An Essential Guide to Knowing What You Believe and Why

The greatest challenge for the twenty-first-century church is the lack of catechesis—training in biblical and doctrinal knowledge. As J. I. Packer states, "where wise catechesis has flourished the church has flourished, and where it has been neglected the church has floundered."
