Luther's House Postils Being Prepared for Publication




  1. Warren Malach encouraged us to pursue this project.
  2. Soon - the text was prepared by Alec Satin, The Lutheran Library Publishing Ministry.
  3. The covers are being completed by Norma A. Boeckler for the full color and black and white editions.
  4. There will also be a Kindle ebook edition, 99 cents for each of the three volumes.
  5. Janie Sullivan will work on the print and Kindle editions.
  6. A Gems book will be compiled from the best long quotations in those three volumes, to be called tentatively - Household Sermon Gems from Luther's Postils. I hope to make it full color and shorter for inexpensive, beautiful gifts, the best kind of education and evangelism.
  7. God willing, a combination PDF will be made of all three color volumes and the Gems, one file, offered free and public domain for anyone and everyone to share.
The people in world missions are very pleased about our free, public domain distribution of an increasing number of titles.

Alex Satin already has 72 books I have used, would use again,  and "new ones" I would gladly have in my print library. These are old Lutheran classics that should be known by pastors and laity but fall into neglect. Why? The ALC/LCA ignores their faithful scholars from the past. The LCMS-WELS-ELS leaders favor Walther, Fuller Seminary, and Willow Creek.

My books are all being made available as free, public domain ebooks. I will get more of them posted if I can get off this D5 avalanche for a few days. Yes, I have a welcome break from online teaching coming up for a few weeks. That will work out fine.

Here is your one-stop place for everything mentioned above:

Listen Up! Free Books

 Free Lenski, Luther, and More!





 Stanley Hauerwas said, "If you want to publish, Greg, you need a PhD. That is the union card needed for publishing."


These books are linked on Dropbox, and the link should work whether the individual has Dropbox or not. Please report difficulties to greg.jackson.edlp@gmail.com. I suggest downloading the free Dropbox software and using it for backups and large file transfers. Various exercises will allow the user to increase the free storage - as I have - to almost 16 gigs. I only use 5.5 gigs at this time.

These books are public domain, so anyone can copy, share, use, translate, or edit without asking permission or paying a fee. Giving credit where due is the norm, and publishers normally cite where the original can be found. John N. Lenker's Sermons of Martin Luther are a good example, where we give credit to Lenker, who gives credit to previous editions.

This was first a need for the African missions, so they can translate freely and use books as needed. Secondly, it is useful for those who want to use all or part of these books in the future.

If, at my death, my executors, or more properly my creditors, find any precious manuscripts in my desk, then here I prospectively ascribe all the honor and the glory to Church Growth and Universal Objective Justification; for Church Growth and UOJ were my Yale College and my Harvard. (paraphrased from Moby Dick, Chapter One, Herman Melville)

The reprinted editions cost $300 and up.

R. C. H. Lenski, taught Justification by Faith and the inerrancy of Scriptures, just as Dr. Walter A. Maier did in the LCMS. Lenski's colleagues did their best to silence him and displace his faithful teaching.
