God in the Raging Waters: Stories of Love And Service Following Hurricanes Katrina And Rita (Lutheran Voices)
|
Product Description
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused enormous damage and loss of life in the Gulf Coast region in late summer and fall of 2005. Lutherans living in the region and church buildings near the destruction were hit with great losses. The crisis called forth an outpouring of aid and service that continues even today.
The book tells the story of how the Lutheran church and its people have responded to the suffering of those most affected by the storms. Following Jesus’ admonition to love and serve those in need, the church has worked in partnership with synods and congregations to bring hope and healing to many in the region. Included are powerful firsthand accounts, insightful theological reflections, questions for group use.
A portion of the proceeds of each book will be donated to the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod Disaster Relief Fund.
