As you read this book, you will learn how the Lord used some people to plant the seeds of church reform long before October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther published his ninety-five theses. Luther's story is well-known; we trust you will find it interesting and instructive to read about him and about forty others (John Knox, Peter Martyr Vermigli, Zacharias Ursinus, Willem Teellinck, etc.) who contributed to the Reformation - some well known and others not so - most of whom are Reformation heroes.
To provide a more full picture of the many sided Reformation, chapters are also included on the Anabaptist and Counter Reformation movements. The book concludes with a brief summary of the influence of the Reformation in different areas of life.

"Reformation Heroes" is a chronological presentation of the life of the servants of both Pre-Reformation and the Reformation itself throughout Europe against papacy, one of the greatest, most brutal, most cunning tyrannies in history. Peter Waldo of France, John Wycliffe of England, Anne of Bohemia, Queen of Richard II, and John Huss, both of Bohemia marked the dawn of this blessed era. Then came Luther, Melanchthon, Bucer, Zwingli and Bullinger in Germany and Switzerland, respectively. The scene then shifted to England where the Reformation leaders were Tyndale, King Edward VI, Cranmer, Latimer, Ridley, Foxe, and Knox. Next, the Reformers in the so-called Lowlands; modern-day Belgium, Netherland and Northern France, are presented, after whom came Vermigli, Calvin and Beza. If I were to pick what stunned me the most, I would go with Anne of Bohemia, Luther, Queen Marguerite of Navarre and her daughter Jeanne with the Huguenots, as well as Charlotte, the Nun of Jouarre, the last three lived to see the fateful St Bartholomew's Day.
It is natural to think that the most blessed time is the time of outward prosperity, yet somehow I see that perspective changed and it is confirmed after getting more exposure of the Reformation days through this book. Though these were the years of living dangerously, they were blessed years. Persecution was fierce. Violence was glaring. Evil was overwhelming. Poverty was rampant. Plagues were raging. Yet grace was abundant. The gospel truth was so dear of a cause. The power and glory of God blazed forth through His true church triumphant. Eternity was so close. One was not guaranteed to live through the day, let alone tomorrow. There were no boring days, no time for trifling. There were blood earnestness, sense of urgency, sweet friendships, and passionate debates, though they weren't free from flaws, pride and hatred, inevitable realities of life in a fallen world. "Reformation Heroes" is doubtless a must-read for youths and adults alike, ages 8 to 108.
