This great devotional is a work of genius. It utilizes Luther's Small Catechism and the Church Year and weaves them together to create a rich devotional tapestry that draws you into the rythms of the Christian Life.
After a small but very useful chapter on how to use this book, and a simple explanation of the Church year, the book dives right in with the complete texts of Luther's Small Catechism and the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds.
Following these texts, the actual devotional readings start. There is an introduction for each season of the Church Year, followed by devotionals dated according to the day of the Church Year, each covering a portion of the Catechism, Christian questions and answers, appropriate Scripture readings, and a prayer taken from various individuals that preceded us in the faith. (e.g. Luther, Augustine, various church Fathers, etc.) The prayers and topics are carefully indexed so that you can find just the right words for your prayers and the answers you need.
The Lord Will Answer: A Daily Prayer Catechism includes:
- Questions about faith, life, and eternal life
- Answers drawn from God’s Holy Word
- Prayers of the Bible
- Prayers and meditations from great Christian teachers
This is excellent for family and personal devotions and would make a great gift for confirmation or baptisms. It's easy to read and well laid out, all in all an excellent devotional resource.
