The Mother of the Reformation: The Amazing Life and Story of Katharine Luther

Katherine was 26 when 42-year-old Martine Luther determined to "Take my Kate to wife ere I did to spite the devil." Would the marriage succeed? Author Ernst Kroker's compelling biographical account of Katharine von Bora relates that their marriage not only succeeded but also set a high standard for marriage and Christian family life for centuries to come. Originally published in German in 1906, this readable, fresh translation of one of the standard biographical works on Katie Luther presents a compelling portrait for those who want to know more about this quietly influential Reformation character.
