Martin Luther (1483-1546)

"It is surely an art above all the arts of men, aye, the most extraordinary thing on earth, that a man has the grace honestly to recognize himself as a sinner and yet turn about, put the wrath of God out of sight, and be able to grasp nothing but grace." -Martin Luther

"Dr. Martin Luther's books touch the heart, they penetrate to your innermost being, and one little page has more substance and strength and more comfort, too, than entire sections of other writers." -Duke John Frederick (later Elector of Saxony)
