Manual for Discipleship & Kavanaugh

It’s another double release day! First, there’s a book I’ve been waiting for ever since I first heard it was being written: Luther’s Small Catechism: A Manual for Discipleship by John Pless. It’s sure to be fantastic! And the other newly released book is by LCMS columnist and commentator Mollie Hemingway (and Carrie Severino): Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court.

Death Questions

Free to be Faithful!

Blessed Fourth of July! Wishing you every blessing in Christ, stateside and around the world! And may we all be free to be faithful!

PS. There’s a good Kindle sale on God at Work: Your Christian Vocation in All of Life, which, frankly, is a modern Lutheran classic. Am I wrong? Only $3.99 from now until July 6th! (Here’s a link to Veith’s post about it).

Releases!

So many releases! This is a double-release day, with Kloria Publishing releasing the lushly rich, highly favored, Lord, Thee I Love with All My Heart, which I reviewed here, and there’s Ruth Meyer‘s latest in her Sola Series: Hope Alone. (If you liked the previous two in the series, you obviously need this one! But I promised to review it on the 12th as part of a concerted effort, so no review for you just yet.) Below I’ll catch you up on a release of my own, and give you the release blitz and giveaway info for Hope Alone. 😀
