Katie Luther

Klappentext Born into a destitute family of noble lineage, Katharina von Bora grew up in a convent and was relegated to life as a nun in pre-Reformation Germany. She settled into a life of study and service. Then, when Dr. Martin Luther's writings were spread throughout the land, some found their way into the hands of Katie and other nuns at the convent near Grimma. Luther's writings were the impetus for change. As much as Luther helped to reform the Church and spark sweeping change in Germany, he also helped to transform a humble nun into a strong, intelligent, and inspiring leader in her own right. Katie blazed her own trail at a time when there were very few options for women. She risked her life to escape the nunnery and stood her ground in the face of opposition to her role as Mrs. Luther. Hardworking, fiercely dedicated to her family, and unwavering in her faith, Katie Luther is an enduring Christian role model. This is the dramatic story of an extraordinary woman whose life amid religious, political, and cultural upheaval still inspires--and now presented in graphic novel format.
