Reviews
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
