The Second Book in the Commandments Series!

Once upon a time, there was a terrible curse and a princess who could not escape it. She would do anything to be free of the pain and fear that plagued her. If only she could remember the stories and the songs her parents taught her about the One who could unravel the curse. If only she knew how to pray, praise, and give thanks.

Why Fairy Tales?

A fairy tale has the power to awaken our imaginations while teaching us truth. Every good fairy tale points us back to the the truest of stories.

Once upon a time, there was a Hero who loved His beloved so well that He would rather die than live without her. When all seemed hopeless, and the Hero was dead, something magical happened.

The Hero rose from the dead. He killed death itself so that we, His beloved, would live happily ever after.

The Commandment Series

Above All Things: The Tale of the King is a story about the First Commandment based on Martin Luther’s explanation written in Luther’s Small Catechism.

Likewise, the second book, In Every Trouble: The Tale of the Curse, explores the Second Commandment and what it means to keep God’s name holy.

Kloria Publishing creates and distributes books, artistic works, and other materials which proclaim the unchanging Gospel of Jesus Christ and uphold the teachings of God’s Word as correctly expounded in the Lutheran Confessions.

If you enjoy these books, Kloria also publishes The Creed Series by Katie Schuermann.
