About this listen

After his martyrdom at the hands of the Gestapo in 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer continued his witness in the hearts of Christians around the world. His became a prized testimony to Christian faith and courage, read by thousands.

Now, in Life Together, we have Pastor Bonhoeffer's experience of Christian community. This story of a unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years reads like one of Paul's letters. It gives practical advice on how life together in Christ can be sustained in families and groups.

The role of personal prayer, worship in common, everyday work, and Christian service is treated in simple, almost biblical, words. Life Together is bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.

Meaty and Convicting

Life Together is full of meat for the Christian aspiring to go deeper in their walk with Christ, and others. Very quotable. Let it sink in.

Some great thoughts from an inspiring Christian

Some interesting and simple thoughts by Bonhoeffer. There were some good nuggets in this short book about alien righteousness, the Psalms and how in them we find the praying Christ, and meditation. This work has really encouraged me to start again a morning devotional/time set a part for reading the word, singing, and prayer. He also had some interesting thoughts on singing and the idea of unity singing as a congregation. I fully agreed with him on the idea that our singing can turn into a work of self glorifying (my term) of sorts and that if we simply sing in unity it can be a form of corporate prayer.

I'll have to read this one again, maybe next year, to get more out of it as simple as it was. There were also some very good ideas for evening devotionals as a family.

Uplifting and Intelligent

Considering the time period in which Life Together was written, I was surprised by the positve and life affirming attitude of the writer. Moreover I found myself agreeing whole heartedly with his arguments for community and oneness. Bonhoefer's position is a strong affirmation of Christan ethics , beliefs, and the responsibility of each and evvery one of us to do that which is right in the sight if God. tg

Great

This is a fabulous book with wonderful guidance and practical ideas and principles on living the godly life and community. The caution about modern psychology and its limits without repentance and the cross is brilliant.

Tremendous reminder of the necessity of community

Christianity without others is not true religion. This treatise reminds us of this truth- and convicts us of the shortfall of individualized religion

beautiful and meaningful

A profound work! There is.more in this short work than in other works ten times as long. Both believer and unbeliever can benefit from Bonhoeffer's words

Excellent

Everything good, but sections on Psalms, corporate life together and confession especially helpful. The desperate need for The Church (Christians, starting with myself) to prayerfully meditate on this material in our current/post-enlightenment/radically individual milieu is probably hard to measure. I just started Myles Werntz’ recent “From Isolation to Community” and his use of Bonhoeffer (among others) to assist in diagnosing and addressing isolation seems a great companion to Life Together.

Deep and sound insights

I love hearing how these older Christians thought. They seem to have had a strong connection with the reality of the gospel of Christ
