Martin Luther (1483-1546)
Martin Luther, noted for beginning the religious Reformation which is the foundation for most of Protestantism today, was a complex man. He could be gentle and refined, he could be rough and coarse. He could write theology; he could write children’s songs. He could expound his views with vehemence; he could minister compassion or joy. Perhaps his one major fault was his view of the Jews. When his attempts at converting a number of Jews to Christianity failed, he made a list of steps that should be taken against them--steps that were followed hundreds of years later by a German despot named Hitler. But the life of the child, Martin Luther, gives no apparent predisposition of the life of the man.

Mother Teresa (Ganxhe Agnes Bojaxhiu) 1910-1997
Mother Teresa was born in a part of the world that seems to always have been a center of controversy in modern history. Because of these controversies, Mother Teresa never saw her mother or her sister again after she had left to become a nun. Even at the height of her renown, she was not permitted to visit Serbia to visit them. She truly desired to love God more than anyone or anything else. She sought to find her life, in the way the Bible teaches, “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 10: 37-39)
