This book is the result of research, theory, and practice in the development of a Lutheran approach to evangelism. Through a study of Lutheran Doctrine and many evangelism and witnessing programs, this book attempts to clarify what Lutheran Doctrine says about evangelism practice and witnessing and gives practical ways to live what we believe, teach, and confess. Basically, this is the MAP or Major Applied Project for the author’s Doctor of Ministry degree. This project included the theoretic (what if), doctrinal (according to what we believe), and practical (how we do) understanding of Confessional Lutheran Evangelism and witnessing.

The purpose of this book is to reiterate in layman’s terms the doctrine and practice presented in the author’s Doctor of Ministry Major Applied Project, Developing and Implementing a Lifestyle Evangelism Culture. With the understanding that one’s doctrine, that is what one believes, should both inform and instruct one’s practice, and how one lives, this book gives practical instruction in living as a witness, from Lutheran doctrine.

Following his book Vocational Evangelism as a Practice of Lutheran Doctrine, Bogs presents some “practical” examples and “conversations” in how to engage others in different scenarios and situations. Although these conversations are quite contrived, the idea is that a person can never be over-equipped for speaking God’s truth in love. With that said, one must always rest assured that although you may be “dragged before governors and kings to testify to them and to the nations . . . ” “do not worry how you will speak or what you will say. When the time comes, you will be told what to say. It is not you speaking but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you” (Matt. 10:18b, 19b-20).

Written in two parts included in one devotional book, Devotions for Luther’s Small Catechism was written during years of Bogs’ teaching Luther’s Small Catechism. Each of the six chief parts is included and each part has at least two devotions dedicated to each. The first of the two devotions was written early on in the author’s teaching and the second later on after some years of experience. The goal is to be both devotional, as well as, educational.

While the title suggests this book is for “newly married couples,” it may indeed be read and used by any married couple. This book was written after years of premarital care given by the author and is intended to help bring couples closer together with their relationship with the Lord. As the preacher (or teacher) reminds us “a threefold cord is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12), so it is with a married couple who include the third cord of Jesus.

While working with young people, especially pre-teen and teenagers, it became apparent that many suffer (as adults do) from  feelings of inferiority. While serving as a Director of Christian Education (and not too theologically trained as a pastor yet) Bogs first attempted to write this book based on Moses’ reluctance to obey God’s calling and his excuses of inferiority. This book actually began from a skit the author had written. Later, after pastoral training the author reworked this book so as to be more in line with the Lutheran doctrine. While Dr. Bogs will admit that this book is not at the top of his theological writings, he hopes it may be helpful to those who suffer feelings of inferiority.
