Storm: The Surprising Story of Martin Luther
Share
In the sixteenth century a storm called the Reformation swept across Europe, ravaging as well as cleansing. The rumblings began in Rome, where the church was trying to figure out a way to finance an enormous new Saint Peter’s Basilica. The corrupt leadership decided the fastest way to get the needed cash was to sell spiritual benefits called “indulgences” to parishioners. This was a piece of paper signed by an emissary of the pope granting “easy release” from purgatory. It is in this time that we meet a young cleric that condemned the use of indulgences and called for a return to Scriptures.
Storm follows Martin Luther’s footsteps as he strides across the years, exciting one adventure only to step into another with the turn of a page. He stood for grace in a graceless age. He never backed down. Never wavered. Martin Luther stood firm through the storm for what he believed to be just and true. He didn’t tell us how to do it. He showed us how it should be done.
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 in the midst of the raging storm.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
