{"product_id":"by-heart-conversations-with-martin-luthers-small-catechism-9781506431482","title":"By Heart: Conversations with Martin Luther's Small Catechism","description":"Martin Luther had a way with words and an eye toward instruction as he wrote the Small Catechism. Written to awaken and affirm faith as well as provide a helpful tool for households and congregations, the Small Catechism delivers the precise and profound words that have become the heart of Lutheran teaching about the Christian faith. As you will see in the story of the Small Catechism, Luther saw firsthand how far removed the gospel was from the people's experience. So, he set about crafting a simple Q \u0026amp; A on the basics of God's word, aimed at bringing the Holy Spirit into the hearts of sixteenth-century readers, readers ever since, and into your heart too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHaemig, Mary Jane:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Jane Haemig\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of church history emerita at Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
