The magnificently evocative novel based on the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer will introduce readers to a courageous Christian who joined the underground convinced that it was is duty to work for Hitler's defeat. Glazener has captured the warmth, humanity, and intrigue of this young German pastor and theologian who at 39 years of age was executed by the Nazis at Flossenburg concentration camp on April 9, 1945, for his part in the "Officers' Plot." This highly readable work combines the essence of many stories of WW II, namely, the Church's struggle to survive the Third Reich; a family's commitment to save each other, their neighbors, and Germany; and the many Christians and Germans who risked their lives to save the Jews. This book will be a welcomed addition to the growing corpus of Bonhoeffer books and bring those who know his work even closer to him, his family, and his theology.
