Teaching children the Christian faith is one of the greatest responsibilities God has given to parents and churches. Milk for Little Ones is a beautifully designed introduction to historic Baptist doctrine, written specifically for young children.
Designed to serve as a stepping stone to Keach’s Baptist Catechism, this book helps lay a solid theological foundation for the next generation. What is this book good for? It presents children with the precious, eternal, necessary, life-giving truths of the Faith in words they can understand.
Adapted from the classic nineteenth-century Catechism for Young Children by Joseph P. Engels, this catechism has been carefully revised and expanded from a Reformed Baptist perspective. It introduces children to the foundational truths of Scripture in a clear question-and-answer format while providing a stronger emphasis on covenant theology and the theological convictions commonly known as 1689 Federalism.
Beginning with creation and the character of God, children are gradually led through the doctrines of Scripture, man, sin, the covenants, Christ’s offices, the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer, the church, and the world to come.
The book also includes an introduction for parents and church leaders, practical guidance for family catechism, and recommendations for further study.
Beautifully produced to be read, loved, and passed down, Milk for Little Ones is far more than a disposable resource to be used once and discarded. It is a sewn hardback designed to withstand years of family worship, catechism lessons, and regular use, combining theological substance with exceptional production quality. Printed in Britain on Swedish-Milled paper, the book features a sturdy casebound construction, coloured endpapers, coloured interior headings, and a matt-laminated finish that adds both durability and elegance. This is a book intended not merely to be used, but treasured and handed down to the next generation.
Ryan C. Hodson is Co-Pastor of Christ Covenant Reformed Baptist Church, Haltom City, Texas. He is married to Anika and they have two children. He writes of this book “While there are many excellent Reformed Baptist catechisms available today, I desired to have one that was not only a bit more robust in its exposition of covenant theology, but which also explicitly outlined the particular type of covenant theology to which I hold, namely 1689 Federalism.”
While every child develops differently, Milk for Little Ones is particularly suited for children aged approximately 3–8 years. Younger children can begin memorising answers with parental help, while older children can engage more deeply with the concepts.
Yes. The book was specifically written with family worship in mind and includes practical guidance for parents on catechising children consistently.
While drawing from historic catechetical traditions, Milk for Little Ones provides a distinctly Reformed Baptist presentation of doctrine with particular attention to covenant theology and Baptist ecclesiology.
The book is written from a Baptist perspective, but many Christian families who appreciate historic Protestant catechesis may find it beneficial.
The title reflects the biblical imagery of giving spiritual “milk” to those who are young in the faith (1 Peter 2:2), providing foundational truths that prepare children for deeper study as they mature.
