About the Reformation from a Catholic perspective. I've seen it mentioned so many times that people wish there was a book that covered this time in history from a Catholic perspective. We're currently studying the Middle Ages this year and I've been trying to figure out what to do when we get to the Reformation, and it seems that there really isn't too much out there for elementary/middle school age children about that time period.

So I'm wondering, would there be any interest in a book like this? I've never attempted non-fiction before--I have a lot of research to do!

I'd love to see a middle school book like this. I studied the Reformation and Counter-Reformation in college with a professor who had a very balanced perspective, and it was just a wonderful experience. We need more resources like this for our young people.

You could do an e-book and cut printing costs to zero...or send it out on CD with activities (kind of like an Amanda Bennett unit study).

Great idea!

I'm betting it would be well received. It definitely is a topic area and age level where with would be good to have solid Catholic resource.
