While attending the Rostered Ministers Gathering Pastor Wayne discovered five new children’s books from Augsburg. They are great stories to read your children and grandchildren that relate to our faith in life. Check them out from Our Savior’s Library. They are on display in the narthex during September.
- I Am Not Afraid by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso. When fear and shadows steal your sleep and peace, reach out in comfort in this gentle imaginative retelling of Psalm 23.
- There’s No Wrong Way to Pray by Rebecca Ninke and her daughter Kate E.H. Watson. “For those who have never prayed and those who do, this book opens God’s world to all.” – Dr. Norma Cook Everist
- For the Beauty of the Earth by Folliot S. Pierpoint. Written in 1864, the hymn For the Beauty of the Earth is a timeless celebration of creation, community, family, and faith. The words of this classic song come to life with the beautiful illustrations from illustrator Lucy Fleming, delighting children and adults alike.
- God’s Holy Darkness by Sharei Green and Beckah Selnick. From the darkness at the beginning of Creation to the blackness of the sky on the night when Christ’s birth is announce, this captivating picture book deconstructs anti-Blackness in Christian theology by exploring instances in the story of God’s people when darkness, blackness, and night are beautiful, good, and holy.
- Mother God by Teresa Kim Pecinovsky. A visually stunning exploration of the feminine images of God from Scripture, and an invitation for kids to experience God as Mother.
