Description
What if October 31 has a story many Christian children have never been told?
For most of my life, I thought I knew what October 31 represented.
Candy. Costumes. Darkness.
Then, in 2013, while studying church history I discovered something I had never known.
October 31 was connected to an extraordinary moment in Christian history—one that happened more than 500 years ago and helped ignite what became known as the Protestant Reformation.
I remember wondering: Why didn’t I know this?
And then another question began to bother me.
How many Christian children don’t know it either?
That became the inspiration for this book.
I wanted to give children and families another story to associate with October 31—a true story from church history that could lead them beyond what they see around them and back to something worth remembering.
I wanted children to experience the story—to wonder what happened, why it mattered, and why people are still remembering that October day more than five centuries later.
And most of all, I wanted the story to point beyond history to the biblical truth at the heart of why the Reformation mattered.
Because October 31 holds a story about more than an event in Wittenberg.
It tells the truth, grace, God’s Word, and a gift that cannot be bought.
What happened on October 31, 1517?
Why did it matter?
And what could an event from more than 500 years ago possibly have to say to a child today?
That’s the story waiting inside.
There is something sweeter than candy.
There is a Light greater than darkness.
And there is a reason October 31 is worth remembering.
