Luther and His Katie: The Influence of Luther's Wife on His Ministry

Description of Dolina Maccuish, author of Luther and His Katie:

Ever churchgoer knows about Martin Luther, the rumbustuous leader of the Reformation, but few realise the influence that his wife had on his ministry. His wife prolonged Luther's life by protecting him from the reckless overwork to which his subjected himself. She made the garden of the unfinished Augustinian convent that was their home, profitable- keeping pigs, cows and chickens. She took over three other gardens and planted fruit trees and started small scale farming. She made the home a haven of rest for the storm tossed man that was her husband.
