Publisher's summary
Written for listeners age 10 and up—enjoyed by adults!
As Dietrich sang the German national anthem, he contemplated the devastation Hitler and the Nazis were perpetrating on Europe. Dietrich would do whatever he could to stop them, even if it meant pulling the trigger on the fuhrer himself. He had thought about it from every angle, and his conscience was clear.
Born into a loving family, Dietrich Bonhoeffer pursued a life as a pastor, teacher, theologian—and spy. He spoke out about the trouble in Germany when Adolph Hitler came to power, urging the Christian church to rescue disparaged people groups and resist Hitler's evil empire.
Accused of being a troublemaker, Dietrich continued on fearlessly in the midst of wickedness. His work as a spy in the German resistance and participation in a plot to assassinate Hitler led to imprisonment and eventual execution. But the lesson of his life story remains: "Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."

Story
George Muller stared at the beggar girl. She was no older than five and was piggybacking her little brother. Her mother had died in the cholera epidemic sweeping England. Her father had never returned from the mines. Standing in the muddy street, this little girl gave a face to Bristol's countless orphans. With scarcely enough food or money for his own family, George Muller opened his heart and home. Sustained by God's provision, the Muller house "Breakfast Club" of thirty orphans grew to five large houses that ultimately over ten thousand children would call home.

Jim and Pete turned to see the Auca men, their deadly spears raised, running toward Nate, Ed, and Roger. Jim stood in the river, his hand on his pistol. Should he defend himself? He already knew the answer. Each man had promised the others that he would not save himself by killing those they had sought out in Jesus' name. Jim Elliot and his coworkers surrendered their lives in Ecuador's jungle, trusting that their sacrifice would not be in vain. Decades later, this event has challenged countless Christians to live with one great purpose: to bring the gospel to those who have never heard.

But when God led him to do just that, nothing, not even the violent Boxer Rebellion, would stop Jonathan and his family from answering God's call. Making their home in China, the Goforths opened their doors to as many as five thousand visitors a month, all of whom heard the gospel message.

One of the famous Doolittle Raiders who first attacked Japan after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Jacob DeShazer knew his one-way mission was dangerous. Indeed, it led to his capture as a prisoner of war. Beaten, malnourished, and alone in his cell, Jacob was given a Bible—and far away from home, this American soldier became a Christian. After the war, Jacob returned to Japan and served his former enemy for thirty years as a missionary. His testimony of forgiveness and reconciliation—of love over hate—inspires a powerful gospel message for our lives today.

Edda Mussolini was the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini’s oldest and favorite child. At 19, she was married to Count Galleazzo Ciano, Il Duce’s Minister for Foreign Affairs during the 1930s, the most turbulent decade in Italy’s fascist history. In the years preceding World War II, Edda ruled over Italy’s aristocratic families and the cultured and middle classes while selling Fascism on the international stage. How a young woman wielded such control is the heart of Moorehead’s fascinating history.

In 1967, not long after the Six-Day War, three young Arab men ventured into the town of Ramle, in what is now Jewish Israel. They were cousins, on a pilgrimage to see their childhood homes; their families had been driven out of Palestine nearly 20 years earlier. One cousin had a door slammed in his face, and another found his old house had been converted into a school. But the third, Bashir Al-Khairi, was met at the door by a young woman called Dalia, who invited them in.

The history aspect alone makes this my Benge fave
I know, this story isn't a fairytale ending in any way, shape or form. But, anyone that serves God with all their heart knows that life isn't always a bowl of cherries. Ok, so you've been warned, this isn't a happy-happy story.
After saying all that, it was interesting to hear about the 2 world wars from a German prospective. At the beginning of WWI, even the kids thought it was a happy, wonderful time to begin a war. But, as soon as you lose someone in a war, it's not so happy anymore. When Hitler began his march towards WWII, the attitude in Germany that wasn't pro-Hitler; was a very sad, here-we-go-again-attitude.
Although, hearing the line-upon-line march towards Nazism is hard to hear; hopefully it keeps us watchful for the same mistakes in our future. Hearing this story, reminds me to not always take the easy and safe road. Sometimes, you have to take the hard road that doesn't end in a happy ending, except it does end in an eternal happy ending. This bit of history is well worth your time and money to listen to.

It was a very good background story of one of the most prominent modern day Christian evangelicals. His life, though very short, spoke volumes of what it means to walk the talk of Christianity.

Informative, a great book!
I learned of the depth of Bonhoeffer's resistance to the Nazis and the ultimate price he paid, all the while serving our Lord Jesus Christ. A great audio book, informative, enjoyable, and a very sober ending.

Engaging and compelling
This was a compelling story with an engaging performance. Intriguing and entertaining for all ages. Bonhoeffer is an example of someone who had a deep and personal relationship with God and it was manifested through his dedication and service to his family and his church.

Great biography
This was a great biography of a man who has become something of a hero of the Christian faith. The authors gave “just the facts” of Bonhoeffer’s life. And his commitment to justice and his opposition to Nazi evil was clear.
However it is less clear about his writings. I would have liked to hear just a bit more about them inserted in the book. I would think some recollections from family members post-war could have been fitting. At the end of the book it felt like something was lacking.
Having said this, it was clear what Dietrich’s commitment to Christ was about. And that is a great example to us all.

history can repeat, bad leaders, nationalism,…
We haven’t dodged this bullet quite yet…
Love, faith, community, kindness, personal responsibility & loyalty to God still trumps flag-waving nationalism, propaganda, prejudice, cruelty, selfishness. Herr Bonhoeffer modeled it.
Love to all.

Eye Opening
This was an inspirational recount of a man of unwavering faith and courage to live that faith in the worst of times. The accompanying historical details gave me a better understanding of that time and the harsh realities of war, wickediness, and the depths of depravity. Insightful and humbling.
