The 1689 in Rhyme is a captivating and beautifully crafted introduction to Christian doctrine for children—and a refreshing resource for believers of all ages. Drawing on the rich theology of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689), author Kerry Regnier presents foundational truths of Scripture in warm, rhythmic verse that makes deep theology simple, memorable, and delightful.

Each chapter corresponds to a section of the 1689 Confession, summarizing its timeless teachings on God, the Holy Scriptures, creation, justification, the church, and more. With gentle rhyme and theological precision, Regnier opens the door for children to see the grandeur of God’s truth and for families to discuss together what Christians have believed for centuries.

The book’s detailed black-and-white illustrations, skillfully created by Braylen Gage, are inspired by the intricate look of classic engravings. They draw young readers into each scene and concept while maintaining reverence and care—never attempting to depict the likeness of our Triune God. Together, the words and images make The 1689 in Rhyme a work of enduring beauty and substance.

Parents, grandparents, and Sunday school teachers will find in this volume a faithful and engaging way to introduce children to the great doctrines of the Christian faith. Its poetic form encourages easy memorization, making it a valuable tool for catechesis, family worship, or classroom use. For older readers, it serves as a refreshing meditation on the unity, coherence, and joy of biblical truth.

Author Kerry Regnier, Director of Administration for Founders Ministries, writes from a heart deeply committed to helping the next generation treasure the gospel. His collaboration with illustrator Braylen Gage, an artist and animator from Texas, results in a book that blends theological depth with artistic beauty.

In a world where truth is too often diluted or forgotten, The 1689 in Rhyme stands as a faithful and joyful declaration that the old truths are still the best truths—worthy to be known, sung, and cherished from one generation to the next.
