The Reformation

"How do I teach the Reformation to my children?"
The first answer to that often asked question is, learn about it first yourself.

There is no more divisive subject in history than
the tragic "Cleaving of Christendom."
It cuts through the heart of many families,
through Western culture,
 and through our nation.

We will slowly and carefully be adding resources
to this page which can assist in in teaching
this crucial time period within your family.

Scripture Alone?
21 Reasons to Reject Sola Scriptura

by Joel Peters

Here are the classic reasons why the Protestant dogma of Sola Scriptura - "Scripture Alone" - is absolutely wrong, is unscriptural, man-made and prevents Protestants from ever having a firm doctrinal foundation.

There We Stood, Here We Stand
Eleven Lutherans Rediscover
 Their Catholic Roots

by Tim Drake
Forward by Fr. Richard John Neuhaus

I grew up in the Lutheran Church,
 the daughter of a Lutheran minister.
As far as I know I am the first and only
person in my family since the Reformation
to reclaim our Catholic roots and heritage.

Lutherans tend to convert to Catholicism
for somewhat different reasons than do our
Evangelical Protestant brothers and sisters,
by whom so many wonderful books on
apologetics and conversion stories
have been written.

Tim Drake, a fellow Lutheran convert,
has written this book by and for other
Lutherans who are considering making
the journey home.  Join us!
