Book of Faith
A Book for All Reasons
A Book for All Seasons
 

If Jesus is the reason for the season, is there a reason for having a Bible around the house?

To Open Scripture

  • Lutheran Study Bible 
    A study Bible that includes unique Lutheran insights into the study of scripture along with introductions, notes, and articles written by over sixty Lutheran pastors and teaching theologians.  More than 68 copies of this study bible have been purchased by members of this congregation for personal use and as gifts to friends and family.  More than 68 new reasons for having a Bible around the house?

  • Spark Bible     “Makes me feel”;  “Reminds me of”
    Reformation Sunday — a red letter day in more ways than one!  Third graders received their own copy of the Book of Faith!  In this case, a Bible designed especially for kids in the third to the sixth grades — a Bible designed to help them explore God’s Word in a personal way — a Bible designed to make it easy for them to interact with God's Word — a Bible with questions (and stickers) to help kids make their book of faith their own as they engage God’s Word in a personal way.  More new reasons for having a Bible around the house?

To Join the Conversation

  • This is the season of Advent! 
    When better to join the conversation than during this New Year! 
    Where better to join the conversation than in the home! 
    Opening scripture can be a family endeavor — both the Lutheran Study Bible and the Spark Bible are NRSV translations BUT the conversation does not depend upon the study bible or the translation!  Start the conversation with your Bible and keep it going.  You might find the following web site to be a useful tool as you join this grace-giving conversation:

  • www.enterthebible.org 
    A reference tool prepared by Luther Seminary.  As the introduction to the web site states:  “a wealth of resources to help you grow in your faith, add depth to your Bible studies and truly discover the people, places and events of the Bible.  Think of Enter the Bible as your guide, a helpful reference tool to accompany you in your reading of the Bible.”
