Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Hold Fast the Faith
Matthew Everhard · 2012
80/100
👍 Worth It
Everhard does something genuinely hard well — he makes the Westminster Confession of Faith readable for ordinary believers without flattening its theological weight. Modern Reformation praised it as biblically grounded and historically informed, and the fact that it reached a second edition suggests it found a real audience. Narrow by design — this is for Reformed and Presbyterian readers — but within that lane it's one of the more reliable devotional resources available.
