Feeding Those Fat Tummies at CPH and the Purple Palace

 Paul McCain, MDiv


"Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod President Matt Harrison has also favorably publicized this two-volume 944-page set, scheduled to be released on December 5. When Father Larry says that The Lutheran Service Book: Companion to the Hymns is not cheap, he’s not kidding. The listed cost is $179.95. The Kindle edition is not much cheaper, $162.44."

GJ - The greed of Concordia Publishing House cannot be satisfied. Each new publication is vastly overpriced, but the Kindle is even more outrageous. People are downloading a file on Kindle, not buying gold and silver for their 401k plans.

I charge the non-profit rate of 99 cents for the typical book. If it is a multiple volume set, like the House Postils plus the Treasures, over 1,000 pages, the price is $2.99. EZ-pay is not available. Sorry.

If people believe in the efficacy of the Word of God, they will make it available in all forms as inexpensively as possible.
