Martin Luther: A Life  ..James A. Nestingen

Although this book was written and published for the sole purpose of supporting the “major motion picture starring…,” I was still hoping for a little better writing. That said, it was very informative, if dry, and gave a very quick overview of the chronological life of Martin Luther as well as the other events of the times that had effected and were affected by his life and actions. Being a Lutheran, now in the children’s education ministry, I knew my own shortfalls in the history of this very important historical figure. This was an easy way of filling in the gaps of my knowledge. Again, I wished for more than a “Cliff’s Notes” of the movie, but as for an accurate timeline, it fulfilled its purpose.
