January 28, 2012 Crown of Life Lutheran Church will host Professor John Brenner to present his book Conversion, Not by My Own Choosing, a selection from the popular People's Bible Teachings series. 

Please feel free to click on the link here or on the picture of the book to visit the Northwestern Publishing House's website where copies of the book are available to you for purchase. A brief synopsis of the book follows:

Our gracious God makes Christians; he did the work. Man's contribution to the saving faith is error. False teachings that promise a miraculous experience or require a decision for Christ do not have their basis in the Bible. Discover the details of God's answer to the question of salvation in this book. Learn more about how to reach out to those who may have fallen from faith and about how to appropriately use Christian discipline. This book examines doctrine and explains with simplicity its daily application to our lives and faith. 

Crown of Life Lutheran Church in Fort Myers was blessed to have the opportunity to host Martin Luther College Professor Emeritus Daniel Deutschlander to present his book The Theology of the Cross, Reflections on His Cross and Ours on January 29, 2011.

A book on Christian doctrine that reminds readers that all biblical doctrine relates to Scripture's central teaching that God sent his Son to save lost sinners. The Old and New Testaments make it clear that our salvation is found in the cross of Christ. However, there is a seeming paradox between the theology of the cross and the theology of glory. Sinful people tend to overlook the cross and its demands and, instead, focus on the glory that they think they should now enjoy because they call themselves Christians. This is a matter of urgent concern. Deutschlander helps us to see Christ's cross as our cross. He reminds us that our good works have no value for our salvation. Yet good works are valuable as fruits of faith done out of gratitude to God for his gift of salvation. It deepens our understanding and appreciation for God's gift of life in Christ. It warns us of Satan's efforts to turn us from Christ to ourselves. It comforts us with the assurance that the cross of Christ leads to heavenly glory.
