Celebrating the Saints: The Feasts, Festivals, and Commemorations of Lutheran Service Book

"The memory of the righteous is a blessing." Proverbs 10:7

And so we know the familiar saying "out with the old and in with the new" is far from true as we live, move, and have our being in the Church. Our past cradles God's magnificent story of salvation as found in His Word, and intertwined with the Lord's story, are the stories of those who are His.

Celebrating the Saints introduces you to a collection of saints in both Testaments and from 19 centuries of the Church's life. Historical sketches and devotional writings in step with the liturgical calendar reveal each saint not as a great exception, but a great example of our Heavenly Father's faithfulness. As you encounter the lives of these men and women redeemed by the Lamb, you'll gaze into "a mirror of the grace and mercy of God" (Martin Luther).

Our fellow heirs of eternal life serve but a humble purpose to point us to the Saint, the Holy One, our Lord Jesus Christ.
