Pastoral Desk Diary

Well done. I appreciate the hard bound edition. The old Thrivent paperbacks would get banged up and cover bent as year went on. Keep it up!

I appreciate the resource, but I prefer a slightly smaller footprint with flexible cover easier carrying and limited briefcase and bookshelf space. Pastor B.

As a huge fan of the Thrivant one (now not offered anymore...) this is a fantastic substitute. Same format, same look and feel! Sturdy and lasts the whole year! I challenge anyone to find a better book with the lectionary readings! Well done, CPH!

I like the resource. While the cover is thick and has a large spiral binding, it is also sturdy and doesn't fall apart before the end of the year. Good job Concordia.

I appreciate the overall completeness and continuity with the previous Thrivent version. Two changes would really be nice: 1) The thick, hard cover makes the short-lived book too heavy and bulky and requires an oversized wire binding. That binding is constantly in the way as this left hander tries to write on the right side of the pages. Please make that what it was before CPH took over. 2) Please add Earth Day to the April calendar to remind us that the keeping of creation was about the first thing God said to humankind. It seems a bit telling that the Super Bowl is on the calendar, but Earth Day is not! Thank you, Pastor Roger.

This old dog did not want to learn any new tricks so I appreciate the exact same format as the insurance company's desk diary. One change for next year would be to make Sunday the first day of the week in the "Advance Appointments" section as it is throughout the rest of the diary (and in Scripture).
