The Man Behind Church and Change Plagiarism



"From a reader:

 Pastor Jackson,
I received a campaign-marketing email from Concordia Publishing House advertising  Mark Jeske's book.  Just before I confirmed my order today for 13 books (including extras for the church library, pastor, CP, DP, shut-ins, widows, and my busy friends who need their "daily devotions made simple with Time of Grace,")  I checked Amazon.  Sure enough, it's $6 cheaper, and eligible for free shipping.  Today's my lucky day

The ISBN (0758619138) is catalogued as published by CPH.   I guess NPH down the road from Jeske is too busy and didn't need the business.  Curiously, it's not available for free download on Lulu either.  Why hide such a shining light under a bushel?

http://www.cph.org/pdf/124353.pdf   I appreciate how at the very end of his book sample Jeske invites his readers to visit WELS.net and use the locator to find the nearest WELS church.  (Just kidding!) Lol.  That might hurt books sales to LCMS.
