\"Katherine<\/p>\n

In the spirit of the 500th Anniversary<\/strong> of the Lutheran Reformation, I have received a free review copy of Katharine von Bora: The Morning Star of Wittenberg<\/a>, by Jenna and Shanna Strackbein, with illustrations by Emily and Jenna Strackbein.<\/p>\n

This is a book for children — intermediate readers, I\u2019d estimate. It narrates the life of the woman who became Martin Luther\u2019s wife, from her childhood to the early years of their married life. The text is clear (with German pronunciations provided, which is a nice touch), and there\u2019s a glossary in the back, as well as a timeline. The colored pictures are numerous and lively.<\/p>\n

The story is addressed from a Lutheran theological point of view, so non-Protestants \u2013 or even some Reformed \u2013 may not appreciate parts of it. But it\u2019s pretty handsome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
