Excerpt

'A great Reformation swept throughout Germany. People's hearts began to change as they heard the truths that Martin Luther taught from the Bible. His writings were printed and widely read by nobles and peasants alike."

What Others Are Saying

'Boys and girls (and adults too) will love this beautiful book about a godly woman who helped to change the world.'
- Joel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan

'This may be one of the most important of all the stories of the Reformation—and thankfully, the very gifted Strackbein family has told this story beautifully, powerfully, and delightfully.'
- George Grant, author, pastor, and President of the King's Meadow Study Center

'When I read this beautifully illustrated book to my grandchildren, I choked up a few times encountering the beauty of marriage and the wonderful way Katie served the Lord in her generation...now she was inspiring the rising generation of my own family. What blessing!'
- Scott Brown, pastor at Hope Baptist Church, Wake Forest, North Carolina, and President of the National Center for Family Integrated Churches

'Where should our teaching of the historical Reformation begin? With young children. Here is a brilliant and effective way to introduce...Katharine von Bora's exciting life, as she married the number one most-wanted man in the Holy Roman Empire, Martin Luther, guided their family through trying times, and set a Christian example so badly needed in our day.'
