In this remarkable book John Todd (1800-1873) begins what he hoped to be a systematic theology for children. He begins with theology proper, the doctrine of God, and he covers the following: is there any God? God is a spirit; God eternal; God is everywhere; God all-wise; God knows every thing; God's power; truth of God; God does as he pleases; God is holy and God is good. This volume also includes an address to mothers which is one of the finest brief essays we have ever read on the powerful influence of mothers on their children. It alone is worth the price of the book. - Publisher.
