Arch Books for the Children of Haiti

This arrived in my inbox yesterday from Concordia Publishing House.

This past Easter Sunday we celebrated Jesus Christ, our Lord’s resurrection. Keep the celebration going by sharing the Gospel with children who’ve recently experienced much trauma.

Did you know that school in Haiti has been canceled—indefinitely?

For just $10, You have the opportunity to impact Haitian children's lives by sending 6 Arch books entitled “Jesus Blesses the Children”, translated into French, and $4 to relief efforts. Money has been donated from dozens or organizations, but together we have the opportunity to provide something else that children desperately need: the Gospel.

To donate, visit www.concordiaoutreach.org or call 800.325.3040. Contributions can also be mailed to Concordia Gospel Outreach/Help for Haiti at 3558 S. Jefferson Ave., Saint Louis, MO 63118.

If you're in the market for a new study Bible, hold off until you can get The Lutheran Study Bible

Pre-orders for The Lutheran Study Bible begin next month. This looks like it's going to be great. If you're looking to buy a new study Bible for yourself or as a gift for someone, hold off until you can get your hands on this one. Click here to see a sneak "pre-preview" over at Cyberbrethren.

Remember, this is not just an edited edition of the recently published ESV Study Bible, much like the Concordia Self-Study Bible was a revision of Zondervan's NIV Study Bible. The Lutheran Study Bible is unique in that it is "the first in English to be developed from the ground-up with notes that are distinctively Lutheran, prepared by Lutheran theologians and pastors from over twenty Lutheran church bodies. Current Lutheran scholarship, insights from the Church Fathers, and rich devotional commentary provides meaningful perspective for both young and mature Christians." (from the CPH website)
