it was amazing

Powerful biography of a fascinating man and his life. The methodical illumination by the author of Bonhoeffer's love for Germany and for God and the conflict brought about by Hitler's regime that threatened everyone until he felt he had to make a stand, gave me new insight into the harrowing times and also into this intelligent, thoughtful, insightful man. His life was an example and challenge to move beyond complacency in one's faith walk and strive for a deeper relationship with God and then put faith into action.

I wish I'd had the chance to meet him in person. What a humble hero! I highly recommend this biography.
