Martin Luther - What Should I Do?

The true story of Martin Luther and the Reformation. At the boarding school in Eisenach, Martin and his friends had to sing for their supper. Martin spent a lot of time thinking about how to get to heaven - he thought that he had to pray for hours on end, eat very little, work very hard and study a great many good books, in order to have his sins forgiven. However, as he began to read God's Word for himself, he discovered that the answer was not in doing these things, but by putting his trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We have purchased every one of Catherine MacKenzie's Little Lights biographies. I read them regularly with my 5 year old daughter, easily able to get through a single book in a night, in approximately 10-15 minutes, including answering questions.

Martin Luther's biography is in my opinion the best of the series. She does a good job of telling the story in a way that my 5 year old daughter can understand. The gospel is clear, and the story has led to so many good conversations about the Bible, about justification by faith, about obeying God's Word, and about the importance of reading and believing the Bible.

MacKenzie is content to tell the story of Martin Luther with some very basic commentary. Expect and prepare, as a parent, to have great conversations following the reading of this book. It is one my daughter requests over and over again. Jacob and Kiki Hantla
