Summary:

I love this church and its liturgy and know that something very valuable is weekly unappreciated by millions of us. That “”something”" in the author’s preface is the Lutheran liturgy.

Understanding that liturgy is “”the work of the people in worshiping God.”" Dennis R. Fakes presents this volume that will assist lay people and clergy to understand and appreciate the powerful messages of the liturgy.

Uses for this book include:
Worship or new member classes Worship and music committee workshops A sermon series A liturgy handbook for worship leaders

The guided reflections for each part of the service provide a gospel-centered focus to the purpose of liturgy as it enhances richness and meaning to one’s understanding of God’s presence and invitation in the worship service.

Marty

1962

Author Marty, Martin E., 1928- Title Baptism. Publisher Philadelphia, Muhlenberg Press [1962]  Summary          Martin Luther recommended that believers begin and end their day reminding themselves of their baptism and then go to work joyfully or to sleep cheerfully. Baptism, says Marty, is at the heart of the everyday, life-long spiritual journey as he explores such questions as: How did early Christians understand and practice baptism? What difference does baptism make in our daily life? How does baptism manifest itself in our relationships, our choices, our faith? This is both a history of baptism and a useful guide to its application for everyday life. The book includes questions for reflection and discussion.
