Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an awesome theologian during World War II. Eric Metaxes wrote it. A friend of mine first told me that Thomas Nelson was offering this book for their book reviewer program, and I decided I should read it. I’ve been interested in some of Bonhoeffer’s work, but had never studied him.

Metaxes delivers a beautifully written book revealing the political climate of early 20^th century Germany, and what it’s like to stand up against compromise in a real way. Metaxes uses some of Bonhoeffer’s personal writings; letters and such, to show the real person that was Dietrich… In his own words.

I would definitely encourage anyone to read this book and anything else by Bonhoeffer. He was a very intriguing and great man. Any person of faith can truly realize the cost of discipleship, our life. I easily give it 5 stars... :)
