What made an ordinary monk become a catalyst for the Reformation in 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?

Discover how a fresh understanding of the Scriptures not only transformed his own life but had a huge impact upon Europe.
He was born in the year 1483, the gift eldest son on a miner. His parents scrimped and saved to give him everything they never had: a brilliant education, a promising career, a future – but if only they had any idea of God’s amazing plans!
As Martin was making his way back to university one day a thunderstorm changed all that. The threat of lightning sent Martin into a panic – and into the monastery to be a monk. Â This was a first step of providence that was to change the world. Â A fire was ignited in one man’s heart and he reformed the church from heresy to hope.

John Calvin: After Darkness Light (Catherine Mackenzie)
$8.99Calvin had ideas on how we could live better lives, particularly how we could live in close harmony with God and each other, but because his ideas were radical, his life was filled with dramatic events and dangers. He was run out of town – and then welcomed back.
John was accused by many of being too harsh, and by others of being too tenderhearted. When he explained what the Bible meant, he was considered too logical and too spiritual! He must have been an amazing man to have caused such a stir!
This new biography in the Trailblazers series will help children 8-12 understand more about the life of this great French Reformer.

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.

William Tyndale: The Smuggler’s Flame (Lori Rich)
$8.99William Tyndale lived a life of adventure and danger, dodging the king’s men, fleeing from vicious enemies, and often being forced to meet with smugglers in the dead of night. What brought this well-educated Englishman to be in such spots? Was he an outlaw or a thief? No, Tyndale was no such criminal – he was a man determined to get the Bible into people’s hands!
But in Tyndale’s times and country, the king and other rulers in power considered the Bible a threat to their position and wanted translation and Bible distribution put to a stop. Still, Tyndale’s work was the work of God and it was not to be stopped! Read of how Tyndale bravely stood for the Truth so that we may courageously learn to walk in his footsteps.
