Concordia Self-Study Bible: Niv 37 reviews
Concordia Publishing House, 1986
Concordia Self Study Bible Review
For the last 3 years I have ordered Concordia Self Study Bibles for my Confirmation Students. This New International Version Bible is a great teaching tool, both for Christian Theology and the way it is layed out. The 35,000 entry Concordance at the back of the Bible is great for finding passages, and the explanations of individual passages at the bottom of each page does a great job of enhancing ...

Martin Luther: A Man Who Changed The World8 reviews
Paul L. Maier
Concordia Publishing House, 2004
Fantastic Read
I came across this book while looking for other homeschooling books here at Amazon. Well, I ordered it and was extremely pleased! At Amazon you couldn't look through it like other books on-line so I took a chance and bought it. So glad I did. It almost brought tears to my eyes while reading it...knowing the strong, resolute faith Luther exhibited during a time when execution by the church was ...

Where Do Babies Come From?: For Ages 6 to 8 and Parents (Learning About Sex Series, Bk. 2)9 reviews
Ruth S. Hummel
Concordia Publishing House, 1998
This book was EXCELLENT!
My daughter loved this book and she wasn't embarassed by it at all. I felt it was time to start explaining things to my 8 1/2 year old daughter. With all the talk of "sex" on television, I knew she was getting curious as to what "having sex" meant. This book dealt with the issuse in a very kid friendly narrative. It's not factual, but a great story with words, pronunciation, and careful ...

Little Visits with God (Little Visits) 12 reviews
Allan Hart Jahsmann, Martin P. Simon
Concordia Publishing House, 2007
Great for young children
My parents read this same book to me and my sisters when we were children (the 1970's version). I bought it for my boys who are 5 and 3. We read one story every night at dinner and discuss the questions at the end. It has wonderful everyday life circumstances that they can relate to. They actually remind me on the nights I forget. I never thought I would hear my children say "Mom, can we do ...

How You Are Changing: For Discussion or Individual Use (Learning About Sex)8 reviews
Jane Graver
Concordia Publishing House, 1998
Just what I was looking for
I've been searching for just the right book for my 11 year old son and this is one has just the right look and information I wanted for him. Many other books were way too long, some with pages in the hundreds and other books were too immature for his age. This is a great beginner book for covering all of the facts and terms. An 8 yr. old would need help reading it but an 11 yr. old could read it ...

Luther: Biography of a Reformer12 reviews
Frederick Nohl
Concordia Publishing House, 2003
A Great Introductory source for all
For Lutherans and all others this provides some of the best history on Martin Luther, what he knew to be right and practiced. This is a very good book for anyone who has no knowledge of Luther's beginnings.
All will find this enlightening when you think of where we are today and the influence Martin had on the world before, during, and after the reformation. It's also an easy read.

Luther's Small Catechism, with Explanation14 reviews
Martin Luther
Concordia Publishing House, 2005
Vital Part Of My Move To Lutheranism
This small catechism, though not a deal clencher on its own, certainly played a vital role in my move from the contemporary American evangelical movement to the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. If you're looking for solid teaching on the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, The Apostles Creed, the Lord's Supper, baptism, and Confession and Absolution, then the writing in this book will aid you ...

Luther's Large Catechism: A Contemporary Translation With Study Questions4 reviews
Martin Luther
Concordia Publishing House, 1988
Lutheran perspective
Being a Lutheran (Missouri Synod) I can say that this is one of the greatest theological writings outside of the Bible ever. It is a wonderful overview of many biblical truths. Many of his arguments such as his support for infant-baptism are practically impossible to soundly refute. If you agree with his theology or not, it is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to grow in the Christian ...

Psalms Now7 reviews
Leslie F. Brandt
Concordia Publishing House, 2004
encourages worship in today's language
I've been using Psalms Now along with my daily Bible reading, and the prayers and praises to God written 2000 years ago become even more meaningful with Leslie Brandt's paraphrases. He has encouraged me to personalize the individual Psalms in my own journaling, and that's brought my worship time; my focus on praising God; and my accountability to live a life of obedience to God to a whole new ...

Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions -- A Reader's Edition of the Book of Concord21 reviews
Concordia Publishing House, 2007
A Treasure Trove of Renaissance Thought
It's been said that when the philosophers and scientists climb their mountains of knowledge, they find the theologians at the top waiting for them. If this is true then the reformation period represents the pinnacle of human intellectual endeavor, and this book stands at the top of any collection of reformation writings.
I'm not a theologian, I consider myself more of a historian. I don't ...

Concordia Publishing
Concordia Publishing House, 2000
Out of the Mouths of Teenagers
This book contains 60 devotions written by teenagers. I have two teenagers, and we read them as family devotions around the dinner table. The devotions are short (but not too short), cover contemporary issues of interest to teenagers, and are written in language that teenagers can understand. The book is aimed at high school students and is equally good for both sexes. The book is ...

Why Boys and Girls Are Different: For Ages 3 to 5 and Parents (Learning About Sex Series, Bk. 1)3 reviews
Carol Greene
Concordia Publishing House, 1998
Great beginers book
As a mother just begining to teach the "birds and the bees" this is a terrific help. The material is age appropriate and interesting to read. The best part, however, is the Christian aspect. I know that our children will understand and respect their sexuality more because they will know why God gave them this gift and the value of protecting that gift. Thank you Carol Greene for the books!

3 in 1: A Picture of God9 reviews
Joanne Marxhausen
Concordia Publishing House, 2004
Great explanation of the Trinity
This book is a wonderfully simple, yet thorough explanation of the Trinity for children. The author uses an apple to show how the three parts of God are really part of one whole. I love this book, and my kids do too! I bought it after checking it out from the library because of a recommendation from Konos curriculum, and thought it definitely needed to become part of my own personal library. ...

Sex and the New You (Learning About Sex)2 reviews
Richard Bimler
Concordia Publishing House, 1998
Useful For Educating Children Redarding Sex and Sexuality
As a Pastor of Children's Ministries, I frequently give away or recommend books from this series. The series provides parents with information and a strategy for presenting the material to their children. Use the recommendations as a suggestion - your child may need to hear the content sooner, depending on the exposure he/she has had from peers or others.
