pickSproul outlines six major differences between the Roman Catholic Church and the Reformation, emphasizing that these are not minor issues that can easily be overlooked. On the contrary, they are significant matters that lie at the foundation of Christianity. This makes it an excellent primer for Christians interested in exploring these differences.

pickThis book was good for what it was, and I enjoyed most of it. It‘s very much a story of a woman completely devoting her life to her husband and God, sometimes to her own detriment. A few scenes where she feels guilty for wanting more from Luther were tough for my 21st century perspective. I appreciate that Katharine‘s story and work is acknowledged through this book. I‘m still most intrigued by the escape of the nuns.

This book is from my grandma‘s bookshelf. It‘s a historical fiction published in 1959 about Katharine, the runaway nun who became the wife of Martin Luther. I started the first few chapters this evening and was more entertained than I expected to be.

pickA 900-page history of the English Reformation is a bit daunting, but this book turned out to be well-written, nuanced, and (obviously, I guess) quite comprehensive. It took me forever to get through it -- reading it felt like a marathon at times -- but I'm really glad I picked it up. Highly recommended if the history of religion or the Tudors is your bag.
