What is the significance of being a "Book of Concord Lutheran"? It all comes down to comfort for the troubled conscience. And true comfort can only be found when nothing is left to uncertainty and chance.

This collection of essays from Rev. Matthew C. Harrison points to the authority of Scripture, the comfort of Christ's resurrection and salvation, and the certainty of the Lutheran Confessions. This comfort and assurance in Christ Jesus dispels the devil's accusations against us, eases our anxieties, and helps us live confidently in a world of uncertainty. By His Word and through His sacraments you receive His certain forgiveness. Your baptism gives you a new and certain identity-you are a beloved child of God!

"Good doctrine is to be a salve to anxiety and worry. The Bible always points us outside of ourselves to find full comfort and consolation in Christ's completed work on the cross and in His ongoing work in His Word and Sacraments" (Introduction).
