Devotional Commentary, Volume 1

Lutheran translator Bror Erickson has a newly translated work of Bo Giertz out (!): The New Testament Devotional Commentary, Volume 1: Matthew, Mark, and Luke. If it’s anything like Bo Giertz’s Romans: A Devotional Commentary, I bet it’s stellar!

The Day is Drawing Near, But When

A few months ago, my husband led an Advent preaching workshop here in the Oklahoma District of the LCMS. Leading up to it, he emailed district musicians to see whether anyone would want to try their hand at writing a hymn for it. As you can guess, I did. 🙂 And he’s encouraged me to share, so I offer my Advent hymn, “The Day is Drawing Near, But When.”
