Author Description

"When a boy who has poverty for his companion is inclined to find fault with the company that he is forced to keep, he should comfort himself by reading about the boyhood days of Martin Luther--a son of poverty who by the strength of God and the grace of Christ stamped his name on every page of history written subsequently to his day."--from the book Dedicated by its author to the "Youth of the Land," this book is the inspiring story of Martin Luther, who was born to poverty in 1483, who was beaten in school on a regular basis, but who rose above his circumstances to change the course of history.
