Overview
"The Book of Concord should be in every Lutheran home. If a person isn't familiar with this book, he'll think, 'That old book is just for pastors. I don't have to preach. After working all day, I can't sit down and study in the evening. If I read my morning and evening devotions, that's enough.' No, that is not enough! The Lord doesn't want us to remain children, blown to and fro by every wind of doctrine; instead of that, He wants us to grow in knowledge so that we can teach others."
— Dr. C.F.W. Walther
Nothing is more important than clearly confessing and bearing witness to the truths of God's Word, which reveals the glorious Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That is what the Book of Concord is all about. This edition of the Lutheran Confessions will instruct, inspire, and educate all who use it and help them learn what it means to be, and to remain, a genuinely confessing Lutheran Christian.
Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions is a remarkable achievement in Lutheran publishing. Find helpful introductions, insightful notes and annotations, and new tools and guides to aid your reading and comprehension. Encounter the dramatic history and heroic persons associated with the various documents in the Lutheran Confessions.
The Book of Concord is the authoritative collection of the Lutheran Church’s statements of faith. It contains documents which Lutheran Christians have used since the sixteenth century to explain, defend, and advance their witness to the truth of God’s Word.
The second edition offers several significant improvements:
- An expanded timeline and general index
- Enhanced page layout features and design elements
- New essays in the introduction which provide an overview of the textual issues and history of the Lutheran Confessions

About the Book
The Reformation of the sixteenth century was a vast and complicated movement. It involved kings and peasants, cardinals and country priests, monks and merchants. It spread from one end of Europe to the other and manifested itself in widely differing forms. Yet in spite of its diverse and complex character, to begin to understand the Reformation you need to know only one name: Martin Luther.
Since it first was published more than 50 years ago, Roland H. Bainton's Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther has sold millions of copies. It remains the definitive introduction to the great Reformer and is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand this towering historical figure.

Overview
Katharine (Katharina Von Bora) Luther was Martin Luther's better half.
She narrowly escaped from the Nimbschen convent, experienced marriage with an unromantic beginning, and later became Luther's beloved "Kitty." She mellowed Luther's harsher side, kept the household from bankruptcy despite her husband's generosity, and enhanced his life with the excitement of family living.
With warmth and empathy, the author weaves together historical fact and fascinating insight throughout this novel.

Mere Christianity is C.S. Lewis's forceful and accessible doctrine of Christian belief. First heard as informal radio broadcasts and then published as three separate books - The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality - Mere Christianity brings together what Lewis saw as the fundamental truths of the religion. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, C.S. Lewis finds a common ground on which all those who have Christian faith can stand together, proving that "at the centre of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks the same voice."
