It's a Matter of Faith and Life : A Catechism Companion : Baptism, Confession, Absolution, the Office of the Keys, and Holy Communion

This book, one of a three-part series, is a narrative reflection on Dr. Martin Luther's Small Catechism. Its uses are many:

• A companion guide for catechism classes.
• A manual for new adult member classes.
• A preaching resource.
• Inspirational reading for those who want to know more about the faith-life of a Christian.

The book began as a video series broadcast on the Michigan City, Indiana, cable system. The series was also used in the catechetical instruction of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Michigan City, where Dr. Albertin is a pastor.
