Brother Martin had gifts amenable to monastery life, such as genuine piety and intelligence. But also an obsession with his own sins that drove him to severe self-criticism and drove his confessor to continual frustration with him. In time, a deeper study of the scriptures brought him face to face with grace. And a friar named John Tetzel began traveling the realm hard-selling indulgences for getting deceased loved ones out of purgatory. That couldn\u2019t be right. Redemption was not for sale. Stirred by his new understanding, Martin prepared a list of 95 propositions for church reforms . . .\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us know these facts about Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation, but may be vague on the details. Luther was a complex and fascinating character, leading a movement with many offshoots and consequences. This new biography presents his personality in context, with lively details and engaging prose. For example, Luther probably didn\u2019t nail his 95 theses to the church door, because nails were costly. More likely, he glued that world-shaking document. But \u201cimagining the Reformer marching through town with a glue pot isn\u2019t as exciting and inspiring\u201d as a hammer. Or as symbolic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The author doesn\u2019t whitewash Luther\u2019s flaws, such as his volcanic anger and his take-no-prisoners approach to enemies. His harsh criticism of Protestant excesses among the peasants probably contributed to thousands of them being slaughtered during the Peasant\u2019s Revolt, and his unbridled contempt for the Jews gave at least a modicum of justification for the Holocaust. But his passionate faith and influence on history make a character everyone should know. The main text is augmented with graphite illustrations, a detailed timeline, and sidebars about theological issues, Luther\u2019s writings (and insults!), historical context, and more. Luther\u2019s story, combined with his wife Katie\u2019s, are the first volumes in Crossway\u2019s Lives of Faith &amp; Grace series. We look forward to more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Considerations<\/strong>: None.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> An informative and entertaining biography for upper elementary grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-reading-at-redeemed-reader\">Recommended Reading at Redeemed Reader <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Book Review<\/strong>: There\u2019s no shortage of Luther biographies!
