About this audiobook
What would you do if your faith could cost you your life?
The fascinating story of one of Christianity’s most courageous heroes, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is now unabridged and adapted for students. This compelling account of Bonhoeffer’s remarkable testimony—combined with historical, theological, and political elements and enhanced with photos—brings the story to life. How did Bonhoeffer become someone who would defend God’s truth, even when it was a matter of life and death? How did he endure the hardships that came with his faithfulness? How might we respond similarly to injustices today?
New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas vividly portrays the struggles and faith of Bonhoeffer, a man who had the courage to follow his convictions into Nazi Germany and stand up for the truth of God.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Weaponized history. It is an insult to Bonhoeffer’s life and work to have it so facilely appropriated as a cudgel in today’s political debates...especially by the side Bonhoeffer would almost surely have bitterly opposed.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book was very thorough in giving an account of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s life and death. It’s not meant to look into his theology but to see the events in his life and how they influenced his convictions. I found that helpful to see an overview of life, adding more power to his writings as I read his other books.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Encouriging book, rejuvenates the passion for what is truly important!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book gives a great insight into the life of a Godly, Christ filled man who gave his life for truth and justice
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was an excellent book and very true to what was going on back then. I found his life to be amazing. He was such a godly man. He was a great servant of the Lord and I think that this book is something that everybody should hear and read so that they can understand what it really is to have faith in the Lord no matter what.
A MUST READ
