“What About …” Series

Description

A past LCMS president, Rev. A. L. Barry put together a series of 29 pamphlets, plus introduction, to address a wide variety of topics. These are all written for lay-people and were once commonly housed in pamphlet dispensers across the synod.

These are not written explicitly for children, but if you want an easy way to discuss one topic a week with your older children, go here to download either one PDF or various topics. Or maybe you would like a little guidance on a topic or two! Whether you read them together or use them as a parental springboard for discussion, they’re a helpful tool published. The most recent edition was published in 2001.
