Martin Luther, Reformation Fire

How did an ordinary monk become a key figure in the Reformation that swept across Europe in the 1500s? What were the reasons lying behind his nailing of 95 theses against the practice of indulgences to the door of the Schlosskirche in Wittenberg in 1517? Why was Martin Luther’s life in danger? How did his apparent kidnapping result in the first ever New Testament translated into the German language? Discover how a fresh understanding of the Scriptures not only transformed his own life but had a huge impact upon Europe. The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today. This gripping and astonishing story from Catherine MacKenzie will challenge young readers to stand up for truth as Martin Luther did.

‘Catherine Mackenzie's biography of Martin Luther is aimed at readers aged nine and above. It makes historical and gospel truths accessible and Mackenzie captures the sense of danger surrounding Luther's work. The reader is left with an appreciation of the historical impact of those Reformation events from 500 years ago. Children's book it may be, but adults need not pass it by; it is an easily digestible biography of one of the heroes of our faith.’ Evangelical Times
