Sayings and Doings of Luther by John Gottlieb Morris
“Of thirteen hundred and forty-three books… written on the subject of Luther… not one is like this one… Some may think that I should have given my authorities and references; but as the book was (made) for plain readers… the mention of which would have interrupted the narrative and been of no service. - John G Morris”

Fifty-Three Years in Syria by Henry Jessup
“In attempting to bring ’light into the dwellings’, Jessup’s mission faced problems such as the strong Muslim suspicion of Christians, a hostile government and the corruption of the existing Christian sects. One of the author’s strongest personal motivations was to educate and empower girls and women, whom he saw as oppressed by Islam. These volumes give us an unusual perspective on the history of Syria. Volume I covers the author’s arrival and first impressions, moving on to discuss the translation of the first Arabic Bible and the founding of the Syrian Protestant College. Volume II continues with Jessup reflecting on his later years in the region at the end of the turn of the last century. It also includes detailed appendices on the history of the American Mission in Syria.” -From Amazon Reviews

And to millions of others across the earth, the voice had become a Sunday institution.” From the Prologue.

Luther Examined and Reexamined by William Dau
“Rome has never acknowledged her errors nor admitted her moral defeat. The lessons of past history are wasted upon her… A recent Catholic writer correctly says: ‘There is no doubt that the religious problem today is still the Luther problem.’ Almost every statement of those religious doctrines which are opposed to (Roman) Catholic moral teaching find their authorization in the theology of Martin Luther.” – William Dau
