Booklets
	Adoption: Finding a Family for a Child – Adoption. We think of it immediately when we hear of friends or family members who are experiencing infertility. What a wonderful solution! Yes, but it is so much more. Adoption is not just about finding a child for a family who can’t have a child. Consider it the other way around: adoption is about finding a family for a child who doesn’t have a family. Hundreds of thousands of children are waiting to be adopted. Consider the opportunity that exists for us to loudly proclaim our belief in the value of life by joining these children to permanent, loving families through adoption! In this booklet, Wanda L. Pritzel, Director of Operations for Lutheran Family Service of Iowa, explores the available adoption opportunities including: adopting an older child; adopting internationally; adopting an infant; adopting an embryo. She also discusses adoption resources and includes a list of “What Can We Do?” suggestions. Item 503B. $0.25 ea.
	What is Real Love? – Real love is God’s love (1 Corinthians 13)! It is love we can discover through Christ and strive to put into practice in our relationships with others. Through His love, we can say, "I love you, wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, mom, dad"—the way God does. Item 603A. $0.25 ea.
	Generations of Hope for Generations to Come – Today’s young people say, “Tell me, and I’ll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I’ll understand.” This resource, by Linda Bartlett, can serve as a tool to help build a bridge between generations, an encouragement for LFL leaders, a motivation for parents in a new century, a promise to the faithful, a reason to take heart! We are called to pass on the truth of what God has done in our lives. God brings order out of the chaos with His Word. Jesus is the Word! Because of Jesus, people change, and changed people change the culture in which they live! Item 906B. $2.00 ea.
	Speak Up For Life - "Speak Up!" That's what Lutherans For Life encourages God's people to do! It is tragically true that too often the Church, as a whole, has failed to speak up For Life or has done so weakly. It is also especially disappointing since God Himself has never been silent when it comes to life. This booklet takes a look at life issues based on Luther's Small Catechism—and is sized to insert right into the catechism itself! Does the catechism have anything to say about life? Yes! Item 212B. $0.35 ea.
	A Lutheran Catechism on Abortion and Life – provides a question and answer primer on abortion and life in the format of Luther’s Small Catechism. Unlimited educational use! By David A. Kaufmann, Ph.D., F.A.C.S.M. Updated in August 2004. Item 104B. $1.00 ea.
	Into His Loving Care – A unique devotional booklet, by Linda Bartlett, dedicated to all the mothers and fathers who mourn the loss of a child’s life through miscarriage or stillbirth. “It may seem as if God is far away at such times of sorrow, but He knows every sparrow that falls. How much more He must care for you and me . . . and our little ones.” Revised June 2005. Full color! Item 902B. $2.00 ea.
Brochures
	Abortion and the Message of the Church: Sin or Salvation? – Dr. James Lamb shows that throughout history the Church has called abortion sin. Only recently have some started calling abortion salvation—a way out of a difficult situation. But it is not a way out. It only creates guilt and despair to which the Church must apply its most powerful message, the Gospel of Jesus. Full color! Item 205T. $0.25 ea. This brochure is also available in Braille free of charge. To order call (888) 364-LIFE or e-mail orders@lutheransforlife.org.
	Word of Hope – Abortion. It’s so painful. It’s an experience that goes beyond our physical and emotional being. It penetrates deep into the heart of our spiritual life. The pain just doesn’t go away. This brochure offers information on LFL’s Word of Hope post-abortion ministry, which offers confidential post-abortion referral, counseling, and reconciliation. “For those who have had an abortion, there is a need for a word of hope . . .” Item 404T.
