The Life and Times of Martin Luther

We can't just feel satisfied with truth as it is told to us by others; we need to be able to read and think for ourselves, even about important things like God. This is the message Martin Luther felt compelled to give to people, even amid the stranglehold the Catholic Church had on Europe of 1517.

This book is a powerful story of a powerful and daring man, Martin Luther, who was able to crack open the ironclad rules imposed upon people by the leaders of the Catholic Church during times when to do so would bring heavy repercussions, even death. It reminds us that we need to always bring Martin Luther's freshness of thought to all the institutionalized dogma we are presented with today, even though we may challenge those who may try to crush us and marginalize us.

A beautifully illustrated and beautifully written introduction to a great man.
