A biblical blessing

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Yonat Shimron's heart-warming article "Luther Bible donated to college" on May 9. What an amazing story Elfriede Wilde shared with us about the incredible survival of her family's Bible -- a 1686 German edition translated by Martin Luther, who led the Protestant Reformation. Its preservation is nothing short of a miracle!

Mars Hill College is blessed to receive this 322-year-old tome, and I will make it a priority to see it during my next visit to the mountains. As the article affirms, it is truly "a story of faith lost and found."

When the movie "Luther" hit the big screen back in 2003, I became a great admirer of this bold man of faith. Thank you for bringing Martin Luther to my attention once again. He is definitely one of my heroes of the Christian faith.
