Dear Friend in Ministry,

We have great news to share!

Daniel Erlander has written and illustrated several books that have resonated with Lutherans for decades. Their visual appeal, theological content, and inviting tone welcome each reader into moments of delight, discovery, and the underlying assurance of God’s deep and everlasting love for us. Generations of Lutherans can point to these publications and tell vivid stories about how Daniel Erlander’s voice has helped them better understand what it means to embrace their Christian faith.

At Augsburg Fortress, we’re deeply committed to our new role of stewarding what Daniel Erlander has created. Beginning in May, we will be sole distributor for his publications. Additionally, we’re expanding on these works in innovative ways, starting with a curriculum based on A Place for You: My Holy Communion Book. Keep reading to learn more about these all-new resources!
