Johnathan Arnold is a weird guy in the best sense. He recently published a new, nice, hardback catechism, written for the modern world from a Protestant (primitive church) perspective. The questions and answers deal with topics both eternal and modern. It utilizes hymns, art, and various other means to inculcate new believers in the ways that lead to life.

In this time, Johnathan and I talk about his larger efforts to build up the church for ministry and warfare in the world. We live in a time of doctrinal amnesia and aphasia. Rather than complain about it, this man that is barely three generations old generated a truly good and useful work.

This is only his latest work, as he has been published in Firebrand Magazine and collaboratively runs a website called Holy Joys. He has a wife and children alongside him, leading a household in which these resources are being utilized. It works. You would be wise to consider the many resources he affords FOR FREE to you and your church. His catechism is available for free online, as are all his articles. The cost of the book is just for materials. Here are the links:
