In the Presence of My Enemies

I'm storing some books for a friend while he's away. Now that we're moving I suddenly have to read them all before I have to give them back!

Here's one. Martin Luther plants a left uppercut squarely on the jaw on the very first page:

"The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies. And he who will not suffer this does not want to be of the Kingdom of Christ; he wants to be among friends, to sit among roses and lilies, not with the bad people but the devout people. O you blasphemers and betrayers of Christ! If Christ had done what you are doing who would ever have been spared?"
