This special collection of daily devotions has been carefully drawn from every year o Portals of Prayer. Some devotions were picked to remember the significant dates on which they first appeared, and some were chosen to speak to us today from years gone by. All of these devotions proclaim the Word of God, the message that God loves us enough to send a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

This religious classic is here made available in a revised and updated paperback edition.

Each daily meditation concludes with a prayer, a biblical verse, or a question to ponder.

Timeless insights from one of the most important people in church history. Some people value good works so much that they overlook faith in Christ. Faith should be first.... It is faith--without good works and prior to good works--that takes us to heaven. We come to God through faith alone. --Martin LutherResounding across the centuries, Martin Luther's prolific writings as a pastor, theologian, scholar, Bible translator, father, and more, remain powerful and richly relevant. Faith Alone is a treasury of accessible devotionals taken from Luther's best writings and sermons from the years 1513 through 1546. This carefully updated translation retains the meaning, tone, and imagery of Luther's works. Through daily readings, Luther's straightforward approach challenges you to a more thoughtful faith.

Johann Gerhard (1582-1637) was one of the leading dogmatic theologians of his time and was the authoritative voice of seventeenth-century Lutheran Orthodoxy. Yet, he also published numerous devotional works and meditations that were meant to be used in the daily lives of ordinary believers. The Handbook of Consolations sought to provide comfort and encouragement not only to those approaching death, but also to those who provided care for the sick and dying. Gerhard himself was no stranger to sickness and death, having lost his infant son and young wife, and faced numerous life-threatening illnesses throughout his life. In this pastoral work, which is the first complete English translation based on Gerhard's original Latin to be published since the seventeenth century, Gerhard brings together his extensive understanding of Scripture, theology, and church history in a practical and easy-to-understand manual that is as relevant and meaningful in the twenty-first century as it was in Gerhard's day.
