God hides extraordinary promises in ordinary things. Luther and the Lion brings together the wonder of The Chronicles of Narnia and the earthy clarity of Luther’s Small Catechism in a richly illustrated story of grace, imagination, and God’s gifts hidden in the simple and unexpected. Coming this Tuesday from 1517 Publishing. Preorder now at the link in bio.

This and Stuart Little getting all the attention while being depressing and/or weird, meanwhile Trumpet of the Swan is delightful and gets no love.

Sam's book, *Luther and the Lion* (out on Tuesday!) is the most whimsical book I've gotten to work on at 1517, and it's our prayer that his creative marriage of doctrine and storytelling is a blessing to the church!

Check out a preview below!

"When you read Luther’s Small Catechism a wardrobe door opens and you enter into the world of God’s life-giving promises. Like the Narnian wardrobe, God’s promises are far bigger than you can imagine." - Sam Schuldheisz

@garonnevik When we lived in Waco, there was a vendor at the farmers market who would bring duck eggs. We got them once, just to try. We found them much richer than chicken eggs and much harder to crack!

Is that the app your grandfather used to surrender at Yorktown

I compiled this before Gordon Wood died, but now it seems even more fitting to read one of his books this month in the leadup to July 4. He was one of our greatest historians ever.
