  • What Should I Do? The True Story of Martin Luther and the Reformation

    What 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.

  • Martin Luther: Christian Biographies for Young Readers (Simonetta Carr)

    500 years ago, a monk named Martin Luther wrote 95 questions, hoping to start a discussion about sin and repentance at the University of Wittenberg in Germany. In a few months those questions had stirred the nation; a few years later, the continent.

    Today we know that those questions changed the course of both the Western church and world history. In this volume for children, Simonetta Carr tells the compelling story of this father of the Protestant Reformation, tracing his quest for peace with God, his lifelong heroic stand for God’s truth, and his family life and numerous accomplishments.

    The Reformer’s greatest accomplishment, she writes, “has been his uncompromising emphasis on the free promise of the gospel.”

  • Gustavus Adolphus: A Hero of the Reformation (C. A. LaCroix)

  • Whatever Happened to the Reformation? (Gary Johnson)

    Bruce Ware, Darryl Hart, John MacArthur, and others join the editors in calling evangelicals to recover their Reformation roots. Too many evangelicals believe methodology and results trump theology. To reach a postmodern society, they too readily adopt an unbiblical view of God that many Americans find more palatable. Or they subsume Bible study and preaching to secondary status. Whatever Happened to the Reformation? urges us to turn to the theology of the Reformers and allow it to shape every aspect of church and family life. Take it and read!
