Books Owed - And Ordering at the Lowest Price

Our artist-in-residence, Norma A. Boeckler, has illustrated our books and designed the covers for many years. The Sermons of Martin Luther are the only ones illustrated throughout.

I had a lot of help and encouragement from members, editors, and various friends of Luther's doctrine. In the next week or so, I am sending out books to those people who have supported this project. When I order them from the author's account, Create Space issues a tracking link, which I will forward to those recipients. Books usually arrive a few days after that. In the unlikely event of an ordering mistake, just keep the extra books for sharing.

Getting books from me = the author's price, a fraction of the retail price at Amazon. All the books published are designed to promote Luther's Biblical Christian faith.

The Sermons of Martin Luther (8 volumes, black and white) plus the Gems in color cost $70 with shipping and taxes. Some people use PayPal to send the money. Checks can be sent to 1104 Letha Drive, Springdale, AR, 72762.

The color version of the Sermons is $30 for each volume.

Question - Why do I link books to the retail when that version is so much higher? Search Engine Optimization - links make the books more visible on the Internet, because - "nobody reads Ichabod."

All the Books Will Be on Kindle eBooks at the Lowest Price
I am working on the Kindle edition while doing some tent-making in the education business. Most of the Sermons are already priced down to 99 cents on Kindle. Students and pastors like having mobile access and the lower price too. All the other books will be lowered too, because the purpose is getting Luther past the watchful dragons of the Pan-Lutheran Synodical Corporation.

Besides that, a complete edition of the Sermons plus the Gems will be on one PDF, linked for free for everyone.


Warren Malach - On Luther's Sermons, Gems, and the Goldmine


A Lutheran pastor for forty-five years, the Rev. Dr. Gregory L. Jackson (STM Yale, PhD Notre Dame ) spent a year revising the Lenker translation of the CHURCH POSTILS of Dr. Martin Luther, written in the 1520s.  These sermons on the historic Epistle and Gospel Lessons for the Church Year fill eight large softbound volumes whose typesetting makes them as easy to read as the volumes are to hold open.  In addition, the volumes are profusely illustrated by renowned Christian artist Norma A Boeckler.  In re-introducing these volumes to the public, Dr. Jackson has performed a great service to the Christian Church by responding to the sectarianism and apostasy of our day with the pure Word of God as taught by Dr. Martin Luther to the members of his congregation.



In addition to THE SERMONS OF MARTIN LUTHER, as part of his long study of Dr. Martin Luther's writings Dr. Jackson has also compiled the additional volumes



 The color version of Gems is the one sent to everyone.
This black and white version was planned at the last minute as a good way to introducepeople to Luther's Sermons without selling the rose farm. This is often included free in orders.

GEMS is the fruit of Dr. Jackson's editorial work on THE SERMONS OF MARTIN LUTHER in which Dr. Jackson distills for the reader the contents of the eight individual volumes in quotations drawn from the sermons, for which Dr. Jackson has supplied titles which are included in the table of contents for easy topical reference.  The quotations drawn from the sermons are generally more extensive than those found in E. Plass' WHAT LUTHER SAYS, which traditionally was searched by students of Luther for useful quotations from Dr. Luther's vast writings, and therefore GEMS is a more comprehensive compendium of extracts from Dr. Luther's writings as a theologian who was also a pastor.


In THE LOST DUTCHMAN'S GOLDMINE Dr. Jackson presents Dr. Luther's doctrine of the Word of God as drawn directly from Luther's own writings, the Lutheran Confessions, and the writings of orthodox Lutheran teachers.  In an age in which the inspiration and authority of God's Word are under constant attack and false doctrine is rampant, Dr. Jackson in his Luther editorial work as well as in his own writings and online blog  (http://ichabodthegloryhasdeparted.blogspot.com) seeks to follow the mandate of Jude 3 to "contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" and presented by Dr. Luther in these Sermons, especially the glorious doctrine of Justification by Faith.



These volumes are only the latest publications of Martin Chemnitz Press (martinchemnitzpress.blogspot.com) which also publishes the theological writings of Dr. Jackson covering a wide variety of subjects both of Christian doctrine and of practice.  You are warmly encouraged to search for these books online, and follow Dr. Jackson's Amazon author's page (https://www.amazon.com/Pastor-Gregory-L.-Jackson/e/B00MDC6S4U?ref_=pe_1724030_132998060).
