Synopsis

Why are you Lutheran? It's a valid question in this modern age of denominations, distinctions, and choices. Throw out all those notions you might have about what it means to be Lutheran. 

When it comes down to it, being Lutheran is really very simple. It s about following Jesus. We go where Jesus goes, we listen when Jesus speaks, we trust when Jesus promises. And we live because Jesus lives.

Includes a chapter-by-chapter study guide for individuals and groups.
