Publisher Description
This early work on Martin Luther is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It details the life of the monk responsible for translating the Bible from Latin into German and for inspiring the Lutheran movement. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in the history of European religion.
This book is about the life of Martin Luther and his continuing impact on the world. Luther is raised in a conservative and disciplined home and goes on to become a monk without his father's initial blessing. Luther does everything a monk should do. He is committed to prayer, fasting, vigils, preaching, and teaching to the point of exhaustion. He continues his education and goes on to become a leader in the Catholic Church.

Best book on Luther
The book "Here I Stand - A Life of Martin Luther", I believe is the best explanation of the founder of the Reformations beliefs towards the Roman Catholic Church. It shows both his strengths and weaknesses as well as the differences with other reformers. An excellent book for non-clergymen.
