It’s not too late for Christmas gifts of… Lutheran Publishing by Rev. Joshua V. Scheer

Concordia Publishing House (CPH) has been publishing awesome Lutheran resources for a long time.  They are by far one of the best Lutheran publishers out there.  Northwestern Publishing House (NPH) has done a great job as well.  But as with beer, sometimes real gems can also be found in the smaller companies (hence the micro-brew).  Here is an annotated partial list that I hope others can add to:
