Easy to read and just the right size to carry on your walk. The information is fascinating, well-presented and supplemented by lovely photographs. Whether your interest is in history, or tourism, or city life, or something else, this book will appeal. I have bought two more copies to give to friends.

The writing is lively and clear, and further information is available for those who want it in the 'Glancing around' sections. It is a great read in itself, but also makes for a brilliant walking tour, which one can take in one's own time and at one's own pace. Thank you!

Such a fantastic little book! It gives a real point and purpose to vacationers and tourists walking around these amazing cities (the only way to really see them!) and yet with all its historical research, it is enlightening even to locals. I learned so much about my city through this book! Well laid-out and I couldn't recommend it more!

This unusual book (110pp) has been called 'The Reformation in your pocket'.  

It is in two parts. The first part, by Mike Reeves, brings a fast-paced narrative of what happened in the sixteenth century across Europe. This is followed by a reflection from John Stott on the part Christians must play now, in our own times.

Then comes  an Appendix which could bring a surprise - on what kind of unity Jesus was praying for in John 17, one of the most vital, and yet misunderstood passages in the New Testament. (See page on 'Unity'.) What did Jesus mean by the Church being 'one'?

Published in the UK by Monarch and in the US by Hendrickson. Available from internet booksellers globally. 

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ON AMAZON

This is an ideal short introduction to the story and significance of the Reformation. It asks key questions such as ‘what was at the heart of the Reformation’ and ‘is the Reformation still significant’? It includes Martin Luther’s 95 Theses and concludes with helpful pointers for study and reflection.

Excellent book on a very complex topic covering - start to finish - hundreds of years!

This publication is well-illustrated. It packs an enormous amount of information into a small compass. It is clear and easy to understand. It is a superb introduction to the Reformation, but I think most readers will want to read a more detailed book after reading this one.

Jim Mac

This is a wonderful little book to give you a short over view of the Reformation. The first part focuses on the key events and people that set about the birth of this major step in Church history and altered shape of the world today. The second part is the theology of The Reformers ending with Martin Luther’s 95 Theses that were nailed to the door.

This book gives you a concise overview but does not intend to give you the full account and there are plenty of books that do, it Is however a very easy read that flows and will not bamboozle you. I do recommend this to anyone who wants to know the key points and not trying to pass a degree in the subject.

I have been given a free copy of this book from NetGalley in return for a honest review.
