Do you want a closer relationship with God? Are there days when you feel far away from him?

 Instead of depending on your own strength, learn to depend on His! This book, adapted from the popular Bible study series of the same name,

 explores the rich depths of a distinctively Lutheran spirituality. In Baptism founded upon God’s Word,

 the incarnate, crucified, and resurrected Lord proclaims His victory over sin, death, and the devil.

 From there flows the proclamation of His Gospel and the administration of His Sacraments.

 It is through these means presented within the liturgy of His Church that Christ communicates not merely spiritual energies,

 an emotional high, a method of reasoning, or a stringent morality, but He truly communicates Himself—God in human flesh.

 This book is a how-to for Lutherans wanting more out of their spiritual life written by respected Lutheran scholars.

 It will help leaders in the church discover reachable goals to strengthen their own faith and help others grow strong as well.
