Advent Devotional!

Hot off the presses! Hey, folks, for any size contribution to my podcast: The Word of the Lord Endures Forever before the start of Advent, you can receive my Advent Devotions book. I wrote it in part out of frustration with other Advent devotions that were too long or that ignored the various days of the Church Year. I wrote these short daily devotions (each featuring a verse or two of Scripture, a hymn stanza, devotional thoughts, and a prayer) to be used ideally at the dinner table as you light the Advent Wreath.

    Pastor, thank you for this devotional, I look forward to reading through it and begin edified by the Word.

    I have a question for you, if that is alright. I am currently on vicarage in MI, and our staff is working through Dr. Pless and Dr. Corzine's book, "Faith in the Shadow of a Pandemic." While reading through that and other Luther Works on the topic, I was reminded of a post you made long ago about Philipp Nicholai and his work, "A Mirror of Joy of the Life Eternal." I remember you saying that you were working on a translation of that book; and I was wondering if that process had ever been completed?

    If so, I would love to be able to read more from Philipp!

    Either way, I pray all is well for you.

  3. Alas, I’ve not ever gotten back to that! Retirement? Unless someone else gets to it first.

  6. How awesome! I love Celebrating the Saints, and am sure your Advent Devotional will be no different. I made a donation to the podcast through the link you provided. Is there anything else I need to do?

  7. Ian,

    Simply wanted to let you know that a small portions of Philipp Nicolai's A Mirror of Joy of the Life Eternal" have been translated in a work by Gerald S Krispin, "A Mirror of Life in the Face of Death" in Dona Gratis Donata: Essays in Honor of Normal Nagael. Krispin does a nice job of introducing the history of the work and then given you snippets of it.

    Cheers, Chris.

  8. Our family used this and it was just what I was looking for. I am hoping you will write something for Lent.
