Peter Martyr Vermigli: Christian Biographies for Young Readers by Simonetta Carr // Review

My Review: 
Well written biography that tells the story of Peter Martyr Vermigli's life in a style that is friendly to young readers, with larger font and lovely illustrations. 

The biography follows Peter Martyr Vermigli from his young years to his later life, his scholarly hunger for learning more of God's word, rise in the Roman Catholic Church, and eventual conversion to Protestantism, fleeing for his life and encouraging like-minded Christians. I had never heard of him before, and I thought it was cool how he had been a contemporary of Martin Luther, and an influential part of the reformation in England. 

A wonderful addition to your library, hardcover bound with durable glossy full color pages, lovely illustrations and a message of faith and how God used Martyr to spread the Reformation. Great for all ages, especially older elementary 7-12, but fantastic to read even as an adult.  

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
