SynopsisWho 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 Bonhoeffer, Metaxas presents the fullest account of Bonhoeffer's life, including his: heart-wrenching decision to leave the safe haven of America to return to Hitler's Germany involvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in "Operation 7," the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerland lifelong dedication to sharing the tenets of his faith This edition, revised and with a new introduction from the author, shares the deeply moving story through previously unavailable documents, including personal letters, detailed journal entries, and firsthand personal accounts to reveal never-before-seen dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life and work.

A Stalwart Hero in Evil Times
The comprehensive story of Bonhoeffer is like no other version I Have ever read. I have trouble putting it down. It is so relevant today as we are facing the same tactics in media and politician who are trying to get us to destroy all of our foundations so that a new movement can build a new foundation to take our country in a different direction. I learned a lot about the Fuerher principle. Americans should read this book and study History so we don't repeat the mistakes of the Nation of Germany. What a great man Bonhoeffer was.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

D. Bonhoeffer's biography by Eric Metaxas is packed with lessons for us today....along with my several other books by Bonhoeffer!
I already owned this book on my Nook reader, and wanted to be able to make notes in margins, so bought this perfectly wonderful paperback - 700 pages of Eric Metaxas' wonderful writing about Bonhoeffer....takes a while to work through such an intense piece of work about such an important person, so having been able to get this copy so quickly was a God-send. Bonhoeffer's life and work belie his youth (39 at the time of his death in a Nazi prison....) and, yet, he managed to live and work and write so much that's so important for today's world....Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
