The stormfront moved in from the Texas hurricane, so I went to work on the Discussion Guide: Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant. Pastors suggested having a guide, so I put together one in the form of a workbook. There is room for answers to all the questions, and the page number for the correct information is listed for each question.
I highly recommend my editor and Lulu.com. Norma Boeckler's artwork is superb, but I have her talents tied up in future projects.
The PDF download is free and people can share the files with abandon. I do not mind if the pastor downloads the PDF and prints his own copies. The idea is to share the information in Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant, which has been used for adult classes and confirmation as well.
Someone could easily use the free downloads of the book, if cost is a problem. As I told a few others, the difference between getting money from each copy and giving them away is not significant to me. My aim from the beginning was to sort out the doctrinal issues fairly, in the words of each confession. Friends demanded that my initial adult study be turned into a book, and then I realized how much more I needed to study.
I can provide also provide books below the stated price on Lulu. Send me an email if that is appealing. Christian News orders books that way. I guess they want a Lutheran title to balance We Believe, Therefore We Speak.
When I was in Columbus, I heard that people who opposed the false doctrine of Church Growth were "lazy." The Shrinkers were busy destroying more churches than the Chicago Fire. What is their brag today? - They plagiarize their lupine idols, preaching sermons verbatim from various Enthusiasts, but not giving credit to the original authors. That is my definition of lazy. Not to mention stupid.
This lazy anti-Shrinker has also broadcast two series from the book, recording the last set so everyone can see them at their leisure. I have to stay up late and get up early to pursue this laziness. No time for the Crab Shack, Granger, Drive, Driscoll, Sweet, Hybels, and the rest.
