• Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Library… has over 420 items available, including A Martyr's Faith in a Faithless World by Pastor Byran Wolfmueller. Lutheran theology is glorious and mysterious, relatable and applicable, for everyone, in any time, in any place. But it also can be intimidating. A Martyr's Faith in a Faithless World serves those looking to start reading theological works and deepen their understanding of Lutheran theology. The budding theologian, the newly catechized, the curious college student, and the inquiring visitor all will be at home in this book.  Come to the church office if you have questions, comments or to see what else we have to offer. Please bring your donation of gently used books, CDs, and DVDs to the church office, too. These do not need to be of a religious nature, as we are able to swap them for more desirable titles. You can browse all our materials & request items to be placed on hold on the web @  holytrinityalbionlibrary.librarika.com/
