Katharina von Bora

Katharina von Bora by 125007 Concordia Publishing. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780758600004.

This book seeks to establish Katharina von Bora, the daughter of German nobility who in the tumult of Reformation Europe married the churchs most famous reformer, as "an extraordinary woman--a spiritual person whose faith and courage stand as an example today." In 16 chapters, the authors trace Katies background, birth, childhood and early adult years, and her marriage to Martin Luther. They also document Katies last years, revealing the faith and legacy of a woman who held steadfast to Christ in great adversity and need and who also advocated evangelical reforms. Acquainted with tragedy and grief, Katie exhibited a deep spirituality, encouraging her family and friends in times of desperation and doubt and providing for the numerous guests to the parsonage.
