About the CBFYR series

Carr10booksThe series of Christian Biographies for Young Readers was born in response to a need for simple but accurate and informative books on men and women of church history, emphasizing God’s preservation of His church and doctrines rather than moral samples to follow. Masterful illustrations capture the imagination of readers, and photos help them to realize that these stories are really true. Published by Reformation Heritage Books.

[These books] are beautifully produced and will no doubt give much pleasure to children, as history books appropriately targeted did to me as a boy” — Prof. Diarmaid MacCulloch, Professor of the History of the Church in the University of Oxford and Fellow of St. Cross College, Oxford.

This book, published by Chicago Review Press, draws on recent scholarship that challenges the traditional view of Michelangelo as a recluse. Readers will learn about the complex and fluid era of the Italian Renaissance and how the times affected Michelangelo’s life and work.  Lavish photos, informative sidebars, a time line, glossary, and suggestions for further readings add value, while 21 hands-on activities help young readers identify with the artist and his work.
