Good and Bad Ways to Think about Religion and Politics
Good and bad ways to think about religion and politics? Yes! Dr. Robert Benne, Professor of Theological Ethics at the Institute of Lutheran Theology, wrote exactly that title. And here’s a free study guide to go along with it!
Thank you, Lord, for Lutheran writers. Thank you for Lutheran readers who can suggest books I hadn’t heard of! Good and Bad Ways to Think about Religion and Politics may be just what I need! Also, God bless Dr. Pless, who writes some of the best handouts & study guides out there! 🙂

Antidotes for Drama
What are antidotes for drama? Trust. Patience. Love. Honestly? Unconsciousness. Sleep is looking pretty good to me these days.
What else can you think of? I do love a good book. I played extra piano yesterday. There’s been so much on my heart lately. Too much to do. Too many ways to turns.
But at least there are still things well worth pouring one’s heart out for. So let’s remember that. 🙂
Today my middle daughter turns 9. We’ll have sour cream scones for breakfast and apple pie following schwarma for dinner. I’ll cut butter, shred cucumber for tzatziki, and spend time with my family.
Maybe today the only drama will be between my daughters.

Is it explicitly Lutheran? No. Will you find it as a common resource in LCMS pastor offices? Yes. It’s published by Eerdmans.

Troll Valley
Let’s start the New Year right with a review of a great Lutheran-written book! Lars Walker hit it out of the ballpark for me with Troll Valley, a book published in 2012 described by one of my good friends as the Great American Novel.
