The Sacred
Meditations are now available!
A classic work of Lutheran spirituality by one of its foremost theologians, Sacred Meditations draws the reader deeper into the unfathomable love of Christ. From the depths of sin to the foot of the cross atop Mount Calvary, from the sorrow of the death of a loved one to the joy of the resurrection of the One who loves us most, and everywhere in between, Gerhard takes the reader along on a faith-feeding pilgrimage through the pages of Holy Scripture, a journey not soon forgotten and worth often repeating. Including a fine essay on the life and work of the theologian, the book also provides useful insight into the context in which they were written and the man who penned them.

EVEN
DEATH
A NOVEL
by Wade R. Johnston
Friends since college and fellow
Lutheran pastors, Isaac Heinrich, Mike, Phil, and Matthias finally take
the trip they’ve dreamed about since college, flying to Germany
to tour the Luther lands. In a tragic twist of fate, they’re not
the only ones looking forward to their vacation. Jihadists have carefully
plotted for their arrival and have a change of itinerary in store for
them. As the action unfolds and the four find themselves in the middle
of a much larger war in which they want no part, a pair of GSG 9
agents—a disheveled and rule-bending borderline alcoholic and his
by-the-book partner—work feverishly to save the American
tourists’ lives. In the end, however, life and death rest in the
pastors’ own hands. Driven by fear, anger, family, and faith,
each must decide for himself how his story will unwind, unto life or
unto death.

About Magdeburg Press
Who are we?We are a small publishing house in Saginaw, MI started especially in the hope of making available works of our fathers in the faith that will edify the faithful and address the challenges facing the Lutheran Church of our own day. Magdeburg Press will also consider current works, including devotional materials and quality fiction, that meet the same criteria, should authors submit them.
Why?
The larger confessional Lutheran publishing houses are understandably unable to publish all of the wealth of materials that have been produced by our fathers in the faith throughout the centuries, or that of our contemporaries, and we encourage you to support them as they seek to make the best that they are able to provide available to the public. Magdeburg Presses, however, seeks to make available such works as might otherwise not make it into print and to do so, in spite of our limited resources, at prices that will not be prohibitive for the average pastor or layperson.
What is available?
The Sacred Meditations of Johann Gerhard is our first project completed. Even Death, a novel, is now available as well. We are currently working on a book of sermons by Adolph Hoenecke, two works by Matthias Flacius, and a several other projects.
Are you open to suggestions or proposals?
We are most certainly happy to consider various projects. Be aware, however, that we are a small group of Lutheran pastors working on these things in our spare time, which is not always plentiful. Because Magdeburg Press is a small publishing house still very much early in its development, we are also operating on an extremely tight budget. These factors will limit how much we are able to commit to or undertake.
Where can we purchase Magdeburg Press publications?
At this time we are hopeful that our publications will be carried by several Lutheran publishing houses. But our publications are conveniently also available right here as well, and purchasing them here has the added benefit of returning more of the purchasing price to Magdeburg Press, since we sell our books to other booksellers at a substantially discounted price, so that they can make a profit that justifies carrying the book. In addition, these books tend to ship more quickly that way as well. If you would rather speak to an individual, you can call 989-980-2995.
What can we do to help?
You can talk to your friends, pastors, or laypeople about our publications if you find them beneficial, encourage local bookstores to consider carrying them, link us on your websites if you have them, and spread the word in whatever way you deem appropriate. Such help is very much appreciated.
What's next?
Lord willing, Flacius' On Adiaphora will be done soon, and then a book of several sermons by Adolph Hoenecke for every week of the Church Year. Both of these books are in or near the editing phase. We are also working on Flacius' Clavis. A fictionalized novel about the life of Paul Gerhardt is also being considered for publication at the moment.
