The Essential Lutheran Library for the Family

God comes to us through His Word and Sacraments during worship at church, but what about when you're not at service? Your family's devotional life is just as crucial to your faith as going to church each Sunday. Stay connected with your Savior with this collection of books, hand selected for families of all ages to start building their Lutheran libraries. From the young ones who need their own hymnals and a beginning Catechism to adults who want an in-depth Bible paired with their own hymnal, this collection has what you need. 

This Set Includes One Copy of Each:

• My First Catechism
  • Teach early-elementary age students the basics of Catechism teachings with this picture book. This first-step resource is organized in the same way as the adult Luther's Small Catechism, but condenses the ideas and teachings down to words, symbols, and images children can understand. 
• Luther's Small Catechism for Kids
  • Building up from My First Catechism, this next book is for older elementary-aged children who are ready for more complex ideas and a deeper understanding of doctrine. This book is outlined the same way Luther's Small Catechism is and includes many of the same symbols seen in the book, yet still keeps the language and ideas at a level children can comprehend. Additionally, connections to Lutheran Service Book, God's Word, and reflection questions help them dig deeper into their personal faith.
• The Story Bible
  • This rich, fully-illustrated Bible showcases 130 Bible narratives for your child to read. Life-like illustrations paint each picture in stunning vividity so children can truly connect to the people, places, and narratives of the Bible. Inside, the narratives are drawn directly from the Bible and adjusted for readability, ensuring your child is reading portions of the Bible right away. Interact with The Story Bible through discussion questions, prayers, learning activities, and a parent's user guide to adapt this book for different age levels. 
• My First Hymnal
  • Help young children learn the do-re-mis of hymnody with their very own hymnal. Teach them 52 different hymns and songs, connecting to the Church Year and special occasions such as Baptism. Each hymn is adorned with full-color illustrations, images of Christ, and color-coding to help piece together the rhythm of the Church Year in relation to hymnody.
• Faith Alive Student Bible
  • For middle- and high-school students, this Bible helps them dive deeper into an English Standard Version (ESV) text and piece together God's Word in their own lives. Multiple unique features help explain each book of the Bible, how the Old Testament connects to Christ in the New Testament, and the general history of each book. Most importantly, this Bible brings God's Word into your teen's lives, showing them exactly how God speaks to them in each and every narrative. 
• Luther's Small Catechism with Explanation—2017 Edition
  • This book is a cornerstone of the Lutheran faith, helping spell out doctrine in a short and easily-digestible format. It's a necessity for upcoming Catechism classes and for personal devotions at home. Build off My First Catechism and Luther's Small Catechism for Kids with this brief and concise summary of God's Word and the Christian faith.
• Lutheran Service Book
  • Devotional time can easily come in the shape of hymns! This beloved hymnal is used by many LCMS churches during worship, containing 636 hymns, 5 divine services, Matins, Vespers, and a copy of Luther's Small Catechism.
