“Although I am not usually moved by somebody else's written prayers, this book is, for me, a unique combination of readings, prayer and reflection and hymn lyrics that moves my spirit into a calm communion with God. I do not see this as a scan-read book, but a word by word meditative resource.” Keith Anderson
“[He] expresses the spirit of the related sermon in contemporary, yet reverent language; some of it reminds me of Eugene Peterson's "Message" version of the Bible. I love how each one ends with a stanza or two from a hymn by Luther!” Leah Chang
“Outstanding !!!!! It will give you a better insight on how to pray and what the man Martin Luther was feeling. Again an outstanding book.” PJ
Martin Luther’s scholastic writings provided the theological foundation for change in the institutional church. Now his sermons reveal that love lies at the heart of biblical interpretation and application. By reading a sermon excerpt with the scripture text that gave rise to it and the resulting prayer as your daily devotion, you’ll discover what gave Luther the courage to challenge the church like young David faced Goliath.
“I found the sermons and prayers very helpful in promoting contemplative prayer and meditation. The introduction to the work is quite good. It is brief but includes some very practical helps toward preparing for meditation physically and emotionally - something often overlooked in works such as this. A solid work for fostering deep meditation on the faith and greater understanding suited for Catholics and Protestants alike.” Stratiotes Doxha Theon
“Paul has done an admirable job of reading and highlighting for the average person Luther's message for each Sunday/text and giving us a thought and a prayer to meditate on during the week.” Hoosier Pastor
“As I read the prayers in this book, it became evident that Martin Luther had actually freed Christians from constraints of man-made belief systems.” Carolyn McElrath
