How a Monk and a Mallet Changed the World

I just finished a great book on the Reformation by Stephen J. Nichols. It was the first time i read a book by this church historian and i can tell you now it won't be my last (Lord willing of course). The book was very historical yet written in a wonderful, easy to read, style. I use to recommend "5 Leading Reformers" (Catherwood) as a good text book that talked about the leading figures surrounding the Reformation. Both books are very readable and not 500 pages long. That is important for those of us seeking to read wide but with limited time.

Check out Nichols' book "The Reformation: How a Monk and a Mallet Changed the World." I read this book in one weekend and i think you'll enjoy it that much as well.


Blessings this Lord's Day,
Caleb

Connie, Hope you all are doing well in Tulsa. The Reformation book is very good. It even has a section on women of the Reformation detailing some of the female heroes of the faith.

Blessings,
Caleb
