The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century was a massive, sweeping historical movement that forever changed the world. It impacted everyone from peasant to king, from monk to the Pope. Any effort to understand the Reformation requires beginning with one man- Martin Luther.
Luther, an ardent student, destined to become a lawyer until a fateful lightning storm drove him to pledge his life to the monastery, was a tortured soul. He desperately sought peace with God and forgiveness for his sins but spent years tormented by his failures despite his religious devotion.
In Martin Luther: The Lion-Hearted Reformer you'll find an easily-read, concise introduction to the life of the great Reformer. You'll discover how Luther finally found the peace with God that so eluded his anxious soul.
