The Sure Word of Prophecy: Sermons and Addresses on the Reformation and the Lutheran Church

I ran into this recently...  It is a collection of Reformation Sermons published in 1908 by the Iowa Synod.  Most of the sermons seem to me, at least to have been given to a Luther League gathering, or something like that.  They are a celebration and also a demonstration of a pietistic view of Lutheran identity that while not mine, is probably an accurate reflection of the views of many Lutherans - then and now.

It was a quick read and fairly quick to form into a pb.  Source was https://archive.org/details/surewordprophec00unkngoog which actually was taken from Google Books.

    Peace, Ken!         *smile*                           ....      and thank you very much!               I do still pray for you and your life with God and His Church now and again and will continue!            Blessings and Kindest Personal Greetings!

                    I've spent a short time perusing the document and it seems very positive and very pleasant ..    looking forward to a really good study ...

    To possibly assist others, here is the "cover" from that website:    (I love the Olde English Script!)

    Philippians 4:  4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand..........

    Thanks Ken!

    Great find.

    (Actually I did the very same thing Milford did and right now wanted to post the cover page, just to find he already did so.)
