BIBLE STUDY
	Martin Luther: An Example for Christians Who Want to Change Their Culture by Linda D. Bartlett (PDF). This Bible study will help you become more familiar, not just with the man Martin Luther, but with the ways that he helped change western civilization through the use of God’s Word. Because Luther was moved by the Holy Spirit to take a stand on the Word of God, western civilization was never the same. With the Sword of the Spirit, Luther’s reforms affected church, state, education, and home. We, too, are called like Luther to use God’s Word to live distinctively different from the world. FREE!

	Speak Up For Life – "Speak Up!" That's what Lutherans For Life encourages God's people to do! It is tragically true that too often the Church, as a whole, has failed to speak up For Life or has done so weakly. It is also especially disappointing since God Himself has never been silent when it comes to life. This booklet takes a look at life issues based on Luther's Small Catechism—and is sized to insert right into the catechism itself! Does the catechism have anything to say about life? Yes! Item 212B. $0.35 ea.
BROCHURES
	In A Life Not Like Any Other, Roberta Bandy shares how many new parents talk about counting the fingers and toes—carefully checking all the outward signs of normalcy. With all accounted for, the parent breathes a sigh of relief—and hopefully gives thanks. But there are other parents whose only sigh is that which comes after many tears. What they see on the outside is not normal and for them there is no immediate relief—and sadly many never learn to give thanks. This is the story of such a child—unlike any other child born that particular day—yet a child whose life had hope, meaning, and purpose. (This story was featured in the Fall 2006 edition of LifeDate.) Item 1622. $0.25 ea.
