<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>On the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, an accomplished biographer provides an intimate portrait of the scandalous marriage between Martin and Katharina Luther, exploring their unlikely love story.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Their revolutionary marriage was arguably one of the most scandalous and intriguing in history. Yet five centuries later, we still know little about Martin and Katharina Luther's life as husband and wife. Until now. <p/>Against all odds, the unlikely union worked, over time blossoming into the most tender of love stories. This unique biography tells the riveting story of two extraordinary people and their extraordinary relationship, offering refreshing insights into Christian history and illuminating the Luthers' profound impact on the institution of marriage, the effects of which still reverberate today. By the time they turn the last page, readers will have a deeper understanding of Luther as a husband and father and will come to love and admire Katharina, a woman who, in spite of her pivotal role, has been largely forgotten by history. <p/>Together, this legendary couple experienced joy and grief, triumph and travail. This book brings their private lives and their love story into the spotlight and offers powerful insights into our own twenty-first-century understanding of marriage.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"No wonder it is sometimes said that the impact of this marriage was as great in the social sphere as the <i>Ninety-five Theses</i> in the religious sphere. Here is a story of a growing love accompanied by sorrow, the joys of marriage, and faith in God's providence. These well-researched pages are filled with unexpected treasures."--<b>Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer</b>, pastor emeritus, Moody Church, Chicago <p/>"Michelle DeRusha gives us a fascinating peek into the Luthers' individual lives, their theological wrestlings, and an unexpected partnership that redefined yet another biblical institution--Christian marriage. The Luthers, through DeRusha's masterful portrayal, remind us again and again how the grace of Christ truly affects all of life."--<b>Christine Hoover</b>, author of <i>From Good to Grace</i> and <i>Messy Beautiful Friendship</i> <p/>"We owe Michelle DeRusha a debt of gratitude for her impressive commitment to tell the story of this unlikely marriage. This book is a gift for believers everywhere, a reminder of how the transformational grace of God can leave a lasting and unforgettable legacy."--<b>Emily P. Freeman</b>, author of <i>Simply Tuesday<br></i><br>"A fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at one of the most well-known Christian couples of all time. This is the Luthers' story, but in important ways, it's the story of all of us."--<b>Jennifer Dukes Lee</b>, author of <i>The Happiness Dare</i> <p/>"I promise that this book will hold your attention and open your eyes."--<b>Warren W. Wiersbe</b>, author; former pastor of Moody Church, Chicago
