Thunderstorm in Church (Louise A. Vernon Religious Heritage Series)

We enjoyed reading this delightful story about the life of Martin Luther and his teachings. Great read and highly recommend.

He was required to read it for his Renaissance unit, and the cover caught his eye, so he began to read it before it was due. He loved it even enough to re-read with his class.

If you are getting this book as part of the TOG curriculum, it's not the best read. I would hesitate to get another book by this author. The dialog is really excessively choppy. Mostly, the children are characters who ask their Aunt Lena a million questions about their father's past which she then recounts for them. The children don't do much themselves. It's like reading a long and drawn out question and answer session. You can get the exact same info on Martin Luther presented more concisely in Trial & Triumph by Richard Hannula or even the Paul Maier book on Luther. He is certainly well worth studying -- just not with this book. That being said, my children didn't seem to mind me reading it to them though. We just read a chapter a day. It seemed like a lot of reading for no new insight or information. So, if you have the other books, you don't need this one.

Just perfect!!!!
