Catechisms

Martin Luther described the home as the place where learning about God's love for His people begins. This devotion helps families connect the small catechism's teachings to their lives today. Each of the 71 devotions features a catechism quote, a brief commentary, a meditation connecting the commentary to today's reader, and a prayer.

The pages of I Believe contain faith stories. Some are funny, some are tragic, and some are very ordinary. But in every story, you see how our heavenly Father works through the power of the Holy Spirit to bring us each to saving faith in Christ. Each story reflects on the author's faith narrative using a phrase form the Apostles' Creed. Also included are quotes from the Bible and writings of scholars who have shared their wisdom and insights with the Church throughout the years. This devotional was designed to work differently from most devotional resources. In addition to sharing the faith from each of the authors, we wanted to provide opportunities for you to begin writing your story. Once you've read each devotional story, begin sharing your story as you record your thoughts and reflections. This allows I Believe to go beyond just a bunch of words on a page to something you interact with, it becomes your own story.

Martin Luther wrote the catechism as a teaching tool of Christian doctrine and faith for individuals and families. It is a powerful tool for the Christian life because of its brief, clear summary of God's Word on the essentials of the Christian faith.

Who are disciples? What is a life of discipleship? As a follow-up to Praying Luther's Small Catechism, this book answers those important questions by looking at Luther's Small Catechism as a field manual for how to live in faith and serve in love according to God's commandments.

Author John Pless argues that, in contrast to both American Evangelicals and members of mainline liberal denominations, Lutherans have a unique view of discipleship. This book will capitalize on the Lutheran view of discipleship to equip our pastors and laity to better utilize Luther's Small Catechism as a guide - a field manual - for a life of discipleship.

Includes all of Luther's Small Catechism, as well as additional Scripture references.
