The Author shares about herself and her work:
My name is Catherine Mackenzie and I’ve been writing biographies for Christian Focus Publications for nearly twenty years now. I have written some other children’s books, but all of my children’s material is written with the theme of ‘redeeming love’ – and as William Cowper said, ‘and shall be till I die’. This is my prayer… that I will be faithful to Christ in what I write and that his word and his power will bring many to trust in him from all nations.
Catherine has written numerous biographies for the very young in the Little Lights series, and many others in the Trailblazers series for children 8-12.
More About John Knox
John Knox was the most famous of all Scottish reformers, helping to spread the flame of the sweeping changes of the Great Reformation across Europe. His courage made even powerful kings and queens tremble! The thought of the impact his preaching was making on the people of Scotland, and even beyond, greatly troubled his enemies. He was once captured by the French and held in a slave ship for almost two years. By the grace of God He experienced a miraculous release!

John Knox: The Sharpened Sword (Catherine Mackenzie)
$8.99John Knox spent his life with a sword in one hand and a Bible in the other and he wasn’t afraid to use either. He began his theological life as a bodyguard to George Wishart – and when that young servant of the Lord was put to death by the religious authorities, the event was what persuaded Knox of the need to preach himself, to awaken his country from the death of injustice and spiritual poverty that afflicted it.
Knox was never made for a quiet life, so when he ran from one danger, he often found himself headed straight for another. Escaping from the powers that be brought him straight into a castle siege and from there he ended up as a galley slave on a French frigate. No wonder Knox valued liberty! – as one who had felt the grasp of slavery’s chains and the cut of the enemy’s whip.
But his thirst for true freedom came from his longing for God’s Word to be preached. John knew that true liberty only came from being in service to God and his Kingdom. Many stood against him and they still do today… but he gave much to his country and to his God and the church and Scotland owe John Knox – they owe him thanks as they owe the God he served thanks for calling such men to be his preachers.

What Should I Do? The True Story of Martin Luther and the Reformation
$6.75What would you do if you were hungry and needed your supper? Would you stand outside someone’s door and sing for it? At the boarding school in Eisenach, Martin and his friends had to sing for their supper, as well as working out ways to get some tasty food before bedtime.
Martin spent a lot of time thinking about how to get to heaven. Martin 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.
A wonderful introduction to the life of Martin Luther for children 4 to 12 years of age.
