Ground Hog Day Editions Uploaded to Lulu.com


The Ground Hog Day blizzard was not so bad in Bella Vista, but a six-inch snowfall shuts down the roads. One resident will not shovel his driveway, so he stays in until it melts, "Because I grew up here!"

I made a virtue out of necessity and re-edited Thy Strong Word and Justification. Someone sent a gift, so I was able to order print copies of Justification for...some people.

Free PDF downloads are available here - Justification, Thy Strong Word, and all Martin Chemnitz Press books.

A pastor's recent comparison of catechisms is revealing. The old WELS Gausewitz catechism teaches justification by faith, while the Kuske catechism teaches UOJ. One characteristic of a cult is changing doctrine and having everyone toe the line or else.

Many people are contributing ideas, research, encouragement, and editing skills to these books. They involve all synods, even ELCA.

Bruce Foster, the LCMS man who became an ELCA pastor, thought the UOJ essay collection was quite instructive. If ELCA is interested in your history of doctrine, so you should be too.
