Catechetical Fiction for Young (and All!) Readers

What if exciting fiction could teach readers the heart of Lutheran doctrine? Katie Schuermann (author of The Big Father and His Little Boy, The Creed: Book 1 and The Beloved Son and His Brother, The Creed: Book 2), Christine Elliott Rivers (author of Above All Things: The Tale of the King, The Commandments: Book 1), and Jesse Cordes (Illustrator of The Creed and The Commandments series from Kloria Publishing) join Andy and Sarah to talk about highlights from their careers in writing and illustrating, where the idea for a fiction catechesis series began, how they use fiction to teach the truth of God’s Word as it is summed up in the Catechism, a sneak peek at each of the books, Jesse's process for illustrating books, and what they love most about this project. Find these books and more from Kloria at kloria.com/collections/fiction-for-children.

As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
