i was just wondering if anybody could give me some book suggestions on, well, "why Lutherans do what they do"....i've read "the spirituality of the cross", which was excellent, and i attempted to read "the fire and the staff", which was really good, what i could decipher, i just couldn't get into it....

i'm basically looking for something that isn't so "textbook-y", if that makes any sense....i haven't been a Lutheran that long - out of any church i've ever gone to this is the closest i have ever felt to God, and i guess i'm curious to figure out why this is....

any suggestions anybody has for me is most welcome!!

I may have to pick this one up myself and check it out. It might be good for confirmation and/or adult instruction.

I love it. It's like my second go-to book. Of course, that's when I can actually find it...it has a habit of turning up in my husband's office, even though I know he has his own copy!!

I have this problem too. Then, my husband likes to give away things like catechisms, hymnals and Bibles. I would be having my catechism come up missing only to find that it had been given away because he ran out. Solved that by getting a leather covered one.

Now, how to keep other books from disappearing is the question.

Back to the regularly scheduled discussion.
