Irene Flynn posted this note in the resource center director's list serve. What she says applies to all of us. Enjoy reading her praise of the Augsburg Fortress Book of Faith resources.
Hi Everyone,
I’ve been thinking about all the great Book of Faith resources that Augsburg Fortress has published these past years! I just want to say that I think they are excellent! I love the 3 series –People of Faith; Books of Faith; and Together in Faith. I am especially pleased with the Books of Faith series. FINALLY! A book by book excellent study with great scholarship and great teaching suggestions and Lutheran takes on things! I appreciate them all! I also love the foundational series. I think David Lose has done an excellent job with his “Making Sense of…..” And those Lenten and Advent series have been stellar. The Lutheran Study Bible is so well done and that middle section is gorgeous . The Spark curricula is flexible and thorough. I must say, my favorite is the Spark Children’s Bible. I love looking at the illustrations and I love reading the stories. It’s just chock full of Good News! Thanks Augsburg Fortress and everyone who has worked so hard on all of these resources!

The latest resources at the Center...
You will be pleased at some of the new resources that are gracing the shelves of your Synod Resource Center:
Just received today - October 13, 2011 - three new Bible studies from the Book of Faith series.
One is for the season of Advent. Four sessions from various scripture references. This will be great for the "waiting season" coming up soon;
The book of Ephesians is exciting with four sessions - short, but dynamic, enough for most people to commit;
Signs of the Kingdom - a study in Matthew for seven sessions.
These will be very helpful in getting parishioners into the habit of Bible study.
We have lots of resources for Advent/Christmas/Epiphany that will help your planning.
A new shipment of Spark Storybook Bibles arrived today - on sale for $12; the hard cover Spark Study Bible for $16; and the hard cover Lutheran Study Bible for $26.
Come in and see us soon!

Free Web-based Bible Study Resource from AF!
I received this email from Beth Lewis, CEO of Augsburg Fortress. This is an offer no one can refuse!
Enjoy.
Greg
You asked for it....we've got it!
Over and over again, I have heard questions like these from people throughout the country:
"Does AF offer a web-based Bible study program? We have members who want to participate in Bible study, but can't because they are ___________. The blank is filled in with a variety of phrases:
"too busy"
"traveling with their work"
"parents of young children who can't afford weekly babysitters"
"web-oriented and much more comfortable with the Internet than with traditional forms of reading and study."
You asked....we've got it! Starting this Sunday, September 5, we are launching a FREE year-long on-line Bible study via our Lutheran Study Bible Facebook page! Each day, we will post that day's reference from the very popular (and much requested) Bible Reading Plan (Survey Path) from our Lutheran Study Bible. This will be an exciting year-long journey through the Bible!
How can you participate?
You may journey through this Bible study on your own;
Or, with a small group;
Or, through your campus ministry;
Or, with your family and friends who live miles apart from one another;
Or, as a congregational activity;
Or, as a chaplain with the men and women in the armed forces with whom you serve.
The key is to participate! And, we'd love to hear from you. How are you using this new on-line Bible study resource? We are confident that you'll have some creative ideas to share with us.
Thanks for asking for this new resource! Be sure you let us know what else is on your "faith formation & worship resources wish list." We're listening and trying very hard to meet the needs of your community of faith!
Blessings,
Beth
