The first time i heard about Eric Metaxas and this book was on a radio show a while ago. The way Mr. Metaxas talked about Bonhoeffer made me very interested in this book. Being from Germany myself but not growing up in a Christian household , i was curious to find out what a German Christian life was ,especially during Hitler's time. Bonhoeffer is very well written , easy to read and understand and very interesting and captivating book. The way Bonhoeffer lived and what he tried to convey to others remindes me a lot of the Apostle Paul. Paul had such love for God and faith in Him that even while he was stoned and left for dead , he never stopped beliving in God. The same with Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer had a love and faith for God as much as Paul had and even during Bonhoeffer's trials and tribulations , he never lost faith and believed that it was God's plan for him and he was completely submitted to God. Even during his last days - he was the "calm in the storm' for his fellow inmates and he gave them strength they needed even though his days were numbered. I can't help but wonder what would've been if the allies had come in only a few weeks earlier?
Anyways , i'm not really good with words but i think this book is a very good read and it can teach you a few things on your way with God! So go and get it ! :-)
