We must first recognize THE librarian: Tom R. Halvorson. He has assembled bibliographies that get you to the books on the subjects.
Tom is an attorney, and understands well what thoroughly done homework looks like.
He is also famous for his contributions to Steadfast Lutherans. He edits the website Lutheran Catechism.
Podcast interviews by T.R.Halvorson may be heard on Issues Etc.
This web page asks:
- What books should be visible to visitors and church-members each week?
- What are we visually saying to the world and to ourselves?
- Some reading materials (novels, popular books, etc.) may class as "light" reading. Which of them should we diplay on library shelves?
- What need have we for books on Apologetics?
- What reference sources should be handy?
- Which books might the Pastor like to see commonly read?
A good selection of books can encourage the congregation in the Faith, and give them many clues as to how to love neighbor, and to live in the outside world of their vocations.
