Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas Book Summary

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 bestselling 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.

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 Germanyinvolvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in "Operation 7," the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerlandlifelong 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.

Praise for Bonhoeffer:

"Metaxas has created a biography of uncommon power--intelligent, moving, well researched, vividly written, and rich in implication for our own lives. Or to put it another way: Buy this book. Read it. Then buy another copy and give it to a person you love. It's that good." --Archbishop Charles Chaput, author, First Things

"Metaxas tells Bonhoeffer's story with passion and theological sophistication." —Wall Street Journal

"Metaxas presents Bonhoeffer as a clear-headed, deeply convicted Christian who submitted to no one and nothing except God and his Word." --Christianity Today

"Metaxas has written a book that adds a new dimension to World War II, a new understanding of how evil can seize the soul of a nation and a man of faith can confront it." --Thomas Fleming, author, The New Dealers’ War

A finally crafted gem. Despite the length, the writing is powerful and one immediately gets a sense of restraint. Herein is the life of one the best men to live in the 20th century, presented, not from a particular view or angle but left to simply speak for itself. The authors craft was like that of a jeweler who carefully cuts and polishes in order to show the true beauty of the gem inside. A true masterwork and one which, I am sure, will affect me profoundly for years to come.

Must read!. Excellent book about an amazing life! In today's world of shallow celebrity, (more people probably know who Kim Kardashian is than Bonhoeffer), it's nourishment for the soul to read about a life lived with courage and purpose and in deliberate obedience to God.

Bonhoeffer - Changer of Men. This book is a life changer. Many Christians go around thinking that their walk with Jesus is going good; but the passion, the grace, the devotion, the discipline, the LOVE of Detreich Bonhoeffer eminating out of these pages toward God and people is unsurpassed. He did what the Word of God says, he did what he preached, he loved people unconditionally, even in the worst imaginable conditions. Even to the unbeliever of Christ, this book will change your life forever, as it had mine.

True selfless human being. A must read, if you wish learn about faith.

Worth the time. Exhaustively detailed, this is worth all the time you will devote to reading.

Simply fantastic. I learned much from this man and the book’s author about how to live as a Christian in increasingly hostile (towards Christianity) modern times. Every emotion is fully felt by the reader, though hope and peace always remain.

Bonhoeffer. An outstanding book of work. Meticulously researched and mesmerizing. What an amazing man.
