Katharina Von Bora

More about the book

Suffering the loss of her mother at a young age, Katherine von Bora (1499-1552), learned to trust in God's care while she was still very young. Born at the end of the 15th century, Katie experienced a special measure of God's protection and love as she ran away from a convent, joined in marriage with a man she barely knew, and entered into the enterprising role of managing a farm, running an extensive household, and raising a large family.Unlike narratives that place Katie in the shadow of her famous husband, this colorful account tells the story of a bold and courageous woman of faith who sought to serve her Savior in the life that unfolded before her and is sure to inspire young readers as they consider the challenges and opportunities God has in store for them.
