MARTIN LUTHER

MARTIN LUTHER

The Monk Who Broke the Church
by James Johnson

Dedication

To every soul that ever asked, “What if they’re wrong?”

And kept asking.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS


THANKS TO THE madmen who translated Scripture, the heretics who wrote it down, and the printers who scattered it like fire.
Thanks to the monks, the mothers, the teachers, and the rebels.
Thanks to the storm that hit just right.
And the nail that hit even harder.

This book stands on the shoulders of protest.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


JJ WRITES BOOKS that break myths, smash idols, and rewire history with clean storytelling and Trojan Horse clarity. He doesn’t write like a professor. He writes like a man with a flashlight in the basement of Western civilization, pulling back the curtain one brick at a time.

He’s written hundreds of books on history, religion, psychology, power, and the systems we live inside.
This one is about a man who cracked the system open with a hammer and a thesis.
