Being Lutheran, I have been looking lately for more books on Martin Luther. For some reason, they are in short supply at my (larger) local library, so I was excited to find this book, especially given that it is the 500th anniversary of the Reformation - when Martin Luther nailed (allegedly) his 95 criticisms of the Catholicism to the door of the church . This book is quite informative, and ideal for using as research for papers and the like. However, light reading it's not. It's a bit (ok, maybe a bit more than a bit) dry, and it is certainly not for those below a high school or college age reading level. Each chapter is generally between six and 10 Kindle pages long, so it is easy to read through, length-wise. The book is separated into chapters so the reader can easily follow Martin Luther's life: The Son, The Monk, The Young Professor, The Publicist, The Prophet, The Preacher-Bishop from Wittenberg, The Year of Climax, the Educator, The Outsider, The Old Professor, and The End of Life. Again, while the book is incredibly informative, I would have appreciated something a bit easier to sink my teeth into.
