Frans Ammerlaan
Frans Ammerlaan is an author and preacher based in Latrobe, Tasmania. Having faced the horrors of a World War II concentration camp as a young boy, his early life took him on a journey through deep and dark valleys. To his great joy, these valleys led him to the green pastures of redemption, freedom and forgiveness.
Frans now writes and speaks, sharing these ideas in the sure knowledge of the power of hope and grace to deliver us from the challenges of our lives. Much is revealed in his signature book, “Deliverance”.
His written works bring a fresh perspective on some of the world’s favourite scriptures. His “An Ode to the Shepherd” examines the secrets hidden within Psalm 23, just as his “What Secret Place?” uncovers those of Psalm 91. He preaches regularly on forgiveness, accountability and the power of the spoken word to define and transform our lives. His constant motivation is a well of inner joy.
