Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
“The best novels are not to be read, but met. When I picked up Storm, the cover swung open on a rich era. Germany was all about me, and I was lost for hours in an exciting world of faith and courage.”–Dr. Calvin Miller, best-selling author
One man of God is about to change the face of faith forever.
He is regarded yesterday as one of the most influential figures in the history of the world. But to those who knew him intimately, Martin Luther was more than just the leader of an important historical revolt; he was a man of vision, commitment, and passion, determined to serve his Lord and purify the degenerate world church.
From the outset, Luther’s enemies–the corrupt ecclesiastical and political rulers of his day–joined forces to stop the spread of his radical ideas, ideas that would shake the church and the world’s greatest political powers to their core. But God mercifully allowed Luther to resist the armies of the world, armed only with the sword of His Word.
Now you can witness Luther’s stand against Charles V and his surprising romance with former nun Kate von Bora, view the societal changes that led to the Reformation and see how God equipped one extraordinary man to stand strong–though it often meant standing conspicuously alone–in the midst of the raging Storm.

Dr. Grant introduces Martin Luther to the reader through skillfully woven fictional and historical characters. Those familiar with Luther's story will find Dr. Grant's work a delightfully refreshing of the story. Those unfamiliar with Luther's story will receive a wonderful introduction. The use of fictional characters alongside of the historical help to develop the passion and intrigue perhaps lacking from a textbook understanding of Martin Luther and the reformation. Dr. Grant helpfully lists the characters in the beginning of the novel to aid the reader. I found this particularly helpful, and often referenced this aid. Dr. Grant's work is well written and a worthy read.

I could not put this book down! The characters were wonderfully woven in and out of eachothers lives with terrific skill. The author found a most interesting way to bring the story vividly alive from the very first chapter. I was sorry to read one of the reviews appearing on Amazon. The author did not depict Luther as being the sole protestor of the Catholic Church, or its' methodology of religion. The book mentioned plenty of others, including John Huss. But let's face it, the book was about Martin Luther.... my 7th graders would resound with an eye-rolling "Hellloooooww"! I hope to see other books from this author, but I am happy to still be basking in the glow of finishing "Storm".

Just like the subtitle of this novel says, the author describes different facettes of Martin Luther's personality and life.
This is a great novel. It is a fascinating read. Recommended to everyone who wants to get an introduction to Luther and have fun reading it.
