Re:Form

Our synod resource center is a member of the Association of Lutheran Resource Centers, whose president is Irene Flynn. She reviewed Augsburg Fortress' new confirmation resource and encourages all congregations to consider using it in one way or another. Here is Irene's post:

Every Congregation needs to have at least one copy of the new re:form DVD, leader guide and anti-workbook! This wildly creative, joyful without being silly, humorous without being disrespectful, right-on theological, DVD answers questions that I had in Jr. High and could never find a definitive answer to for years! I wish I had had this! The DVD contains segments with questions we all ask, such as “Is the Bible true?” “Am I supposed to believe that Mary was a Virgin?” “Why does the Bible contradict itself at times?” “Did God create the devil?” 40 questions such as these are answered with clarity, grounded in Lutheran theology, in accessible language without being condescending, and with graphics that are creative and will age well. Creative ideas for activities and questions are contained in the anti-workbook and the leader’s guide. This is a good investment for your congregation! You can use it for new member classes, adult small groups, Bible studies, classes of any age, youth retreats and youth meetings, devotions for church council –any meeting-- and Bible study for women’s and men’s groups. The list is endless. Congratulations, Augsburg Fortress and Sparkhouse, I think you’ve hit a grand slam home-run with this resource!
