Born Slaves - Luther, Martin
This is a summary of Martin Luther's great work - "The Bondage of the Will". Thought by many to be Luther's greatest writing, this book was written in answer to a book by Erasmus, the great classical scholar and humanist, 1469-1536. Both Erasmus and Luther rejected many of the errors and failings of the Roman church of their day. But Luther challenged, more and more, the Roman teaching of salvation by works. Erasmus, at first reluctant, at last yielded to pressure to state the teaching of 'free-will'. His book is said to have pleased the Pope and Henry VIII. Luther was not pleased, however, and now declared Erasmus to be an enemy to the evancgelical faith. In 1525 'The Bondage of the Will' appeared from Luther's pen, providing a complete rebuttal of Erasmus' position.

And the inclusion of about 250 questions at the end of the book make it ideal for group study and review.

Reclaiming the "C" Word: Daring to be church again - Fryer, Kelly A

Reclaiming The "L" Word - Fryer, Kelly A.
This book is about renewing the Church from its Lutheran core. Kelly Fryer is persuaded that the Lutheran church has much to offer the searching people of our day. It does not need to dumb-down its tradition, suppress its sacraments, nor adjust itself to the prevailing the world. It should rather cast off self-pity and wake up and use the treasures that it has. She makes a powerful case that within the deepest riches of our own tradition we have the answers for many in our society who are seeking but not finding.
