From the publisher

The Church was following the words of men rather than the Word of God.

This is the story of how the Church found the gospel and the people heard about Christ. Home school mom and Bible curriculum developer Danika Cooley explores how God’s people changed the Church, Europe and the World. This is a clear, engaging and accessible explanation of the social, political, and religious factors that led to the Reformation. The Who, What, Why series explores the lives, concepts, and movements that have shaped the lives of God’s people throughout history. Featuring engaging narrative, beautiful illustrations and a timeline of key dates, this series introduces young people to big topics through simple questions.
