Richard E. Lauersdorf has written a small devotional book, As Luther Taught the Word of Truth. Each one of the 58 devotions “penetrates a concept or phrase found in one of the five chief parts of the catechism. The author also uses personal remembrances to connect with resonant events in the reader’s life. At the heart of every devotion is the comforting message of the gospel, which is just as Luther taught the Word of truth.” This book is found on the library shelves under the number 242.2/Lau.

This is a wonderful devotion based on 5 of the 6 chiefs parts (he leaves out confession) of the Small Catechism. Each devotion is a jewel and opens further the treasure that is our Small Catechism. ( )
