Publisher's Description

Have you ever wondered what the church will look like a generation or two from now? Do you worry that the church you grew up in might someday die? Would you like to see your faith legacy passed on to a new generation of Christians? Using Martin Luther's Smalcald Articles Wesley Telyea explores how Christians today can use Luther's insights found in his own theological last will and testament to write their own, and pass the faith to the next generation of disciples. For Lutherans this book will bring to life an often neglected, but highly valuable, confessional document. For non-Lutherans this book will open up a new way of thinking for how to make disciples.

“In the midst of a fast-paced, 'get it done' world, we often forget to ponder and wonder what our legacy will be. Wesley Telyea has an amazing skill at causing us to pause, pray, and build words and actions that lead to a meaningful legacy.”

James N. McEachran

“Being able to write one's own 'theological last will and testament' with the understanding of Luther's is invaluable. I highly recommend this book as a way to help think deeply about what one believes, and how to pass one's faith to the next generations. Bravo, Pastor Telyea!”
