WHO BETTER TO FACE THE GREATEST EVIL OF THE 20TH CENTURY THAN A HUMBLE MAN OF FAITH?
As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer—a pastor and author. In this New York Times best-selling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer’s life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil. Metaxas presents the fullest accounting of Bonhoeffer’s heart-wrenching decision to leave the safe haven of America to return to Hitler’s Germany, and sheds new light on Bonhoeffer’s involvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in “Operation 7,” the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerland. In a deeply moving narrative, Metaxas uses previously unavailable documents?including personal letters, detailed journal entries, and firsthand personal accounts?to reveal dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life and theology never before seen.

Highly recommended. Exceptionally well-written, engaging and just wow. I had never heard of Bonhoeffer until this book came out. It took me a while to get around the Kindle version I picked up on a special price and read the book. But when I saw Mr. Metaxas recently on Cspan I was reminded I hadn't read this biography yet. I have read some of his other books and enjoyed them and this is no different after reading it through quite rapidly.Of course Bonhoeffer is a sad story though inspiring because he died for his beliefs. But the book provides a great and very readable account of his life and story. Yes, Bonhoeffer is a religious story and a religious man that offered witness to the terrible regime that enveloped Germany from 1933 - 1945 (I dare not mention it because the reviews gets flagged) and he ultimately died because of his principled opposition.But this is such a well-written and worthwhile book anyone should and can read this and unless that have no soul, they can't help but be interested and inspired. Wow. Terrific. Highly recommended.I love this book I love this book! Anyone wanting to learn about Bonhoeffer and German church history, as well as WWII, will love this book! As a WWII history buff , and a Christian with some German heritage, I learned some things about Germany and the German church before and during WWII that I didn't learn in secular history books. This book highlights the fact that the way that WWII came about was due to the failings of the Christian German church. To be a Christian in name only or mostly is not the same as having a relationship with Christ. The German church was passive and allowed the love of their country to mix with their Christian faith, or override it, and so Hitler took advantage of it and thus we had WWII. I really believe now that if the German church had had a real revival and real relationship with Christ, and stood up for what the Bible , what Jesus, taught then Hitler would never have had a chance to bring about what he did. Any country's failings are due to the failings of the church. This book would be great for any apologetics thinker/reader as well as WW1 and WWII history buffs.
