Book excerpt: The Heidelberg Catechism has been taught to children for hundreds of years, encouraging them to seek Christ as their true source of comfort. But how did this catechism get written? In The Quest for Comfort, William Boekestein and Evan Hughes combine history and art to retell the events that led to making the catechism. By sharing the stories of Caspar Olevianus, Zacharias Ursinus, and Frederick III and how they came to Heidelberg, children will gain a greater appreciation of the Christian faith as it is expressed in the Heidelberg Catechism. Endorsement The Heidelberg Catechism was an important part of my childhood. Every week I had to memorize a question and answer, and every week I was taught to understand and apply what I had learned. This provided a theological foundation that continues to serve me many years later. I am grateful for this little book, through which William Boekestein introduces the Catechism to another generation of children. May they come to treasure it as I have.
