In God’s School (A L’ Ecole de Dieu) is foundational Christian instruction. It follows the outline of John Calvin’s Geneva Catechism along with the Heidelberg Catechism. According to the ancient practice of the church, In God’s School instructs in doctrine, expounding the Apostles’ Creed. It enriches common evangelical treatments of these subjects by including fine sections on the church and the ministry of Word and sacraments as means of grace. It lays out basic Christian ethics by expounding the Ten Commandments. It teaches Christian worship by explaining the Lord’s Prayer. This book may be used over the course of a school year. Students read a chapter each week. It also familiarizes students with the fine catechetical materials of the Protestant Reformation. Each chapter is divided into daily readings that include Scripture, so the student receives doctrinal teaching along with daily Bible study. Perhaps the greatest strength of In God’s School is the presentation of the Commandments and Prayer. John Calvin’s stress on the grace of God shines through ethical exhortation. Maturity in Christ comes from a growing knowledge of God through the gospel of his Son, a clearer understanding of the life he calls us to walk before him, and the Spirit’s love and strength. With spiritual wisdom and rigor, Pierre Marcel leads us in knowing God.
