Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Called by God
This brief biography (180 pages) provides an introduction to the life and work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian and teacher, who was sentenced to death in the last days of World War II at the Flossenburg Concentrate Camp for his involvement in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Bonhoeffer’s faith allowed him to see clearly the evil growing in Nazi Germany and gave him the courage to fight against it.

“Elizabeth Raum’s Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Called by God . . .
is a reliable chronicle of the life of Bonhoeffer, from the days of his childhood to his last days as a prisoner of Hitler’s notorious Third Reich. I commend this volume to a wide audience of persons who may be beginning a deeper acquaintance with one of the 20th century’s most inspiring martyrs of Christian faith.” --

“The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists of listening to them. Just as love of God begins with listening to his word, so the beginning of love for our brothers and sisters is learning to listen to them.”
