Jeff Erickson sent us photos of an old German book about Martin Luther he inherited from his grandmother.  Mary Williams reveals this book, D. Martini Lutheri Auserlesene erbauliche Kleine Schriften aus seinen grossen Tomis was written by Johann Jakob Rambach in 1743. Rambach wrote 22 books on Lutheran Pietism, including translating the Luther bible into German. This book explains Christian teachings including charity for poor school children and criticism of Christian parents who do not provide proper teaching to their children. She values the book at $100 - $200.
