Martin Luther lived a fascinating life; he is considered to have been one of the leaders of the forces of reformation in his day. In a paper, begin with a thesis statement that presents your unique main purpose for writing this paper. This statement should identify the 2-5 major themes to be employed to develop your presentation.

Personality: Unique giftings are sometimes observable that help to perfectly fit the ministry calling on one's life.
Challenges: Obstacles can come in many forms.
Impact: Martin Luther's legacy has impacted the church today.
