“Believers who cherish the biblical teaching of salvation by grace alone through the work of Christ alone will be pleased with the publication of this book. William Boekestein has done a fine service for children and their parents (and, I might add, grandparents) who want their children to know the story of the preservation of this teaching by the great Synod of Dort in the early seventeenth century. May this book serve well in 'shewing to the generation to come the praises of the lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he has done' (Ps. 78:4)."

Parents who teach the doctrines of grace can use this book to acquaint their children with an important time in the church's history, a time when faithfulness to these doctrines was at stake."
