Top Ten Tuesday - Reformation Reads

This weekly frenzy of listing is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

I tweaked this week's topic a bit. I'm Lutheran, which doesn't mean that I don't celebrate Halloween. It just means that October 31 is also Reformation Day, complete with a rousing rendition of "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God." Since I've never been one for scary reads, I decided instead to compile a list of Reformation reads for this week's Top Ten Tuesday!

Kitty, My Rib by E. Jane Mall (This is the story of Martin Luther's wife. When I discovered this book in middle school, I literally read it five times in a row. I'm not exaggerating.)
Martin Luther: A Man Who Changed the World by Paul L. Maier (A picture book about Luther.)
​Luther & Katharina by Jody Hedlund (Historical fiction about the Luthers. This book was just released earlier this month. I can't wait to read it!)
Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther by Roland H. Bainton (The classic Luther biography)

The Reformation:​ A History by Diarmand MacCulloch (A great general overview of the Protestant Reformation)
Reformers in the Wings by David C. Steinmetz (Let's not forget about all those lesser known reformers!)
The Betrayal: A Novel on John Calvin by Douglas Bond (It's always fun to learn about an important historical figure's life through fiction.)
Getting the Reformation Wrong: Correcting Some Misunderstandings by James R. Payton (This sounds like a fun way to learn more about the Reformation.)
