Customer Reviews

Didn't get what I ordered!

Ordered Luther's Small and Large Catechism, but received only a Small Catechism book. :( Not as pictured. Very upset considering I also bought a separate Small Catechism for much cheaper. Paid nearly $40 for the Large Catechism and did not receive it. Will be returning!
