Here I Stand : A Life of Martin Luther

Here I Stand : A Life of Martin Luther by Roland H. Bainton

I bought this off of Amazon with the hope that my children may be interested in reading it. Both of my older boys are voracious readers, but tend to stay in the fantasy setting. A teacher once recommended that we turn them onto biographies. Seems like a good idea to me.

But, this book is not really attactive to younger readers. The text is small, uses an older font (Times New Roman, I beleive) and was first published in 1955.

So, I'm going to read it instead. I have always had an interest in reading biographies of the great theologians. Martin Luther, Thomas Aquanias, Augustine. Hopefully this will only be the first.
