Lutheranism 101 is a great place to get started exploring Lutheranism, but there are so many more excellent resources available.
We’ve collected some into a list we call the Basic Christian Library. This is a collection of books for both adults and for children, covering many topics.
And what is in your library? Please feel free to leave comments about books and other resources that you find helpful.
I would include some music in my basic library. I love that the hymnal is already on here, but I think some recorded music is also beneficial–I like “Heirs of the Reformation” and “Martin Luther: Hymns, Ballads, Chants, Truth.”
For the children’s list, I’d have to include pretty much everything written by Paul Maier. We have read “The Real Story” series, “The Very First” series, and “Martin Luther: A Man Who Changed the World” over and over with our children, and they’ve never tired of hearing those stories. “The Mouse Prints Journey Through the Church Year” series is also great for introducing children to the way the liturgical church year is organized, but I don’t think that those books are available any more.
Thanks for organizing this list of books–I’m finding inspiration for some new things I need to read, and some things that I should probably re-read!
