The Story of Katie Luther

“A runaway nun marries a university professor. Together they have six children and cause waves that change life across Europe and beyond. Gretchen Ronnevik captures the dynamic relationship of Katharina von Bora and her initially reluctant husband, Martin Luther, from its roots in her cloister experience to the end of their life together and the years of her widowhood with insight and sensitivity. This entertaining telling of the adventure that drove the Wittenberg Reformation brings to life Katie’s vibrant personality, her sense of the gospel of Christ, and her skills at managing a household often bursting at the seams. A delightful, inspiring read for young and old.”

Robert Kolb

“As a pastor and father of five kids, I am so grateful for Gretchen Ronnevik’s book about the life of Katie Luther. The Story of Katie Luther is much more than an excellent children’s biography. As she tells Katie’s story, Ronnevik teaches us about Reformation history, key theological concepts, and the freeing power of the gospel. This book is a wonderful resource for Christian parents and educators, making the riches of the Reformation accessible to young children.”
