Katie Luther: Mother of the Reformation

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 Luthers writings were spread throughout the land, some found their way into the hands of Katie and other nuns at the convent near Grimma. Luthers 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. This is her story, in popular graphic novel form!
