Famous men of the reformation

I have found, over the years, that when I dive into a new era of history, it is best to begin with the easiest stuff, then build on that.  Even the World Book Encyclopedia, my childhood personal favorite,  is written at a 6th grade reading level, & begins each article with a short summary before it dives deep into the subject.

As a HomeSchooler, whenever we would start a section on a new era of history, I would also begin with my favorite books to build from.  One of the best I have ever found was Greenleaf's Famous Men series.  These books are reprints of an out-of-print series of biographies of the movers & shakers of history.  The stories are an elementary  reading level, but a bit higher comprehension level.  That being said, they are very readable, quite informative, and a good foundation to build from.

95 Theses

Why 95 Theses?  It sounds to me like a thick book full of student-like papers written in 5-paragraph form for each (95 times).  However, a quick view of the text shows it to simply to be a list of gripes against the Catholic Church for some of their traditional practices.
