Works by my second favorite prolific Lutheran author, Marva Dawn
I've heard her speak/teach at Regent College and have read and own a number of her books. She is an important voice to the church which is missing in Logos's catalogue. It would be great to have a whole Marva Dawn collection, or at least start getting some of her books.
Her works are not Lutheran per se, but she is a Lutheran evangelical, so I figured this was as good a place as any to put in a plug for her books.
Amazon's bio of Marva Dawn: "Marva J. Dawn serves the global Church as a theologian, author, musician, and educator under Christians Equipped for Ministry and as Teaching Fellow in Spiritual Theology at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia. A scholar with four master's degrees and a Ph.D. in Christian Ethics and the Scriptures from the University of Notre Dame, Dr. Dawn has taught for clergy and worship conferences and at seminaries throughout the world. She is also well-known and highly appreciated as a preacher and speaker for all ages and sometimes contributes to worship by means of her musical gifts. She is the author of more than fifteen books and is happy married to Myron Sandberg; they reside in Washington State."

Thanks for pointing that out. Silly me! I even have it already in my Logos Library.
