Letters Papers from Prison | Dietrich Bonhoeffer
post image

Halfway through Bonhoeffer‘s Letters and papers from prison and this little sentence really slapped me in the face.
…It is eerie to read the words of a man whom you know in the end dies and one whom suspects he will die.

Knowing what was to come made this a challenging read. It was interesting to learn more about Dietrich Bonhoeffer‘s family, beliefs and theological writings. Reading the horrors of the Third Reich never gets easier. It was enlightening to learn about the resistance and disheartening to realize that their plots failed so the regime did not fall sooner. Bonhoeffer‘s impact on Christian theology and a believer‘s place in the world is undeniable. 4⭐️s

Jonathanw That was a good read, just got “Letters from Prison”. Next in the read list. I heard the original biography by his long time friend Bethge. Is even better read. 2y
Honeybeebooks I am definitely interested in reading some of Bonhoeffer‘s works. I might need to tackle the biography by Bethge too. 2y

“We will have to move through a very deep valley, I believe much deeper than we can sense now, before we are able to ascend the other side again. The main thing is that we let ourselves be led entirely and not resist and become impatient. Then it will all go right.” page 374

The plot to kill Hitler wasn't what I expected, but I still love it.
It about a pastor named Dietrich Bonhoffer, and what he went through from the day the war started to the day it ended. Every chapter it would tell you what happened in that year.
If you need some ideas for the writing assignment please read this book.

Finished this for #booked2020 #redwhiteorbluetypeoncover. Gordon Brown writes about courage through the lives of these 8 people.
I appreciated the essays about the people I knew the least about as it broadened my knowledge.

BarbaraTheBibliophage Nice job! ♥️👊🏻📚 4y
Cinfhen Oh, this looks brilliant!!!! My grandmother was part of the Raoul Wallenberg memory preservation society, so seeing his name brought me back about 25 years😆#stacked I‘m curious to learn about the others!! 4y
Smarkies @Cinfhen he was one of those that I was not familiar with. The essays are each about 20ish pages long so they are quite digestible. 4y

Here's my summer. Not pictured (because they're on the Kindle, or will be): the tagged book, Code Name: Butterfly, and Dear Martin. This is gonna be an adventure. Good thing I snagged a book on speed reading too!

I love the history behind world war 2 and all its events, so I got into this book expecting an interesting story. It starts off pretty strong with a cool backstory to the main character but once he starts to grow up it all falls downhill for me. The pacing becomes very slow and most of the information becomes very boring and dragged out. I tried to stick with the book but after a while it became just tiresome, I wouldn't recommend this book.

MrsBabki Love the honesty! 4y

This book is really good so far. I thought this particular illustration was perfect.
