Format: OverDrive Kindle Book. HTML:<p><strong>Who better to face the greatest evil of the 20th century than a humble man of faith?</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>In Bonhoeffer, Metaxas presents the fullest account of Bonhoeffer's life, including his:</p> <li>heart-wrenching decision to leave the safe haven of America to return to Hitler's Germany</li> <li>involvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in "Operation 7," the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerland</li> <li>lifelong dedication to sharing the tenets of his faith</li> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Praise for Bonhoeffer:</strong></p> <p>"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." —<strong>Archbishop Charles Chaput</strong>, author, First Things</p> <p>"Metaxas tells Bonhoeffer's story with passion and theological sophistication." —<strong>Wall Street Journal</strong></p> <p>"Metaxas presents Bonhoeffer as a clear-headed, deeply convicted Christian who submitted to no one and nothing except God and his Word." —<strong>Christianity Today</strong></p> <p>"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." —<strong>Thomas Fleming</strong>, author, The New Dealers' War</p>.
