Just in Time for Reformation Day: artwork by Jason Jaspersen ~ Bread for Beggars

Artist Jason Jasperson worked with Kloria Publishing to put together this beautiful work of art designed to help children learn and sing the faith:

Although (as Amazon reviewers have noted) the book is less accessible to younger children, Jason’s illustrations majestically capture the tone and text of Luther’s powerful anthem and provide an inviting platform for discussion. (I used this devotional no more than five minutes ago with a student from my school to talk about her anxiety and fears– she thought the artwork was awesome, especially the rainbow in each of the illustrations.)

This book is seriously cool. The text is all four verses of Martin Luther’s great and glorious hymn “A Mighty Fortress is Our God,” and it’s illustrated by Jason Jaspersen. The book also includes the tune at the back in case you don’t know it or want to play the melody, and it includes the first verse of “God’s Word is Our Great Heritage” at the back too, which can be sung to the same tune.

Jespersen’s illustrations are really striking and unique — shadowy forms of angels, demons, and people all blurring together into one realm. The “old evil foe” and his minions are depicted as a vast army in pointy armor trying to overtake the church and believers, and Satan is in one place depicted as a dragon-like creature being slain by Jesus as a knight in armor. In fact, some of the pictures might be a little scary for very little kids — my five-year-old was fine with them, but I could see my three-year-old nephew finding them a little too freaky. Just so you know.

The Artwork takes a new form

This past summer the Bread for Beggars team worked with Jason to have his A Mighty Fortress artwork printed on vivid metals for display at Community of WELS Creatives Hearts & Hands Workshop. The resulting prints were striking and Jason himself was blown away by the quality of the images.

This week I am privileged to share Jason’s artwork at my home congregation in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. If you are in the area and would like to stop by Faith Lutheran to see the display, please reach out or stop in from 8:00 am-3:00 pm. The pictures above do not do the artwork justice, you will have to see them for yourself. I would love to visit with you and walk/talk through the gallery with you.

If you haven’t done so already, you absolutely need to get your hands on a copy of A Mighty Fortress is Our God. If you order it on Amazon today you can still get it in time for Reformation Day 2019!
