Product Description:
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was only thirty-nine when he was executed by the Nazis in 1945, yet his influence on Christian life has been enormous. His passionate, theology-based opposition to Nazism made him a leader, along with Karl Barth, in Germany's Confessing Church. Bonhoeffer is embraced by both liberal and conservative Christians, and the integrity of his faith and life have led believers everywhere to recognize him as the one theologian of his time to lead future generations of Christians into the new millennium. His writings are a treasure of spiritual wisdom, social con-science, pastoral care, and theological insights that are an inspiration to us all, no matter what challenges we face.
A Year with Dietrich Bonhoeffer showcases his writings, letters, and sermons in a daily devotional format, encouraging and deepening readers' reflections and meditations. With a foreword by Jim Wallis, author of God's Politics, A Year with Dietrich Bonhoeffer will take readers on a 365-day journey of understanding with this deeply spiritual man.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - My choice for top devotional
Bonhoeffer's writings are organized into a daily devotional -- it works! Try it if you've been an "Upmost for His Highest" devotee.
Rating:  - Daily Reflections
These short excerpts from Bonhoeferr's writings are a great way to combine your daily prayer with reflections from a true master of reflections in a time of turmoil.
Rating: - Dietrich Bonhoeffer not light reading
This book of daily meditations has been very meaningful for me, probably made more so since I had already read his book, The Cost of Discipleship, which is a must to fully understand all that goes into his strong, teaching message. He lived daily for what he believed and proved it by dying for it, too, at the hand of the Nazis. He was an amazing disciple for Christ, and his message needs to be read even more today. This is not lighthearted reading but has a deep message on how to live for Christ ... Read More
Rating: - All in One
I have enjoyed the writings of Bonhoeffer for decades and I have been led to think through many of his ethical situations and his choices between peace and the need of the victims. On this 100th anniversary of Bonhoeffer's birth it would be easy to run out an buy all his works. Yet, here, in one very-well-edited manual are the best of the best excerpts of his writings, his thoughts, his heartache, and his reflections on God. Written in the midst of passionately living out the Christian life, Bonhoeffer ... Read More
Rating: - A excellent overall introduction
The introdution by Wallis is a gem. My wife and I read several days at at time and find this an excellent way to read DB's original works and decide which of his books speak most directly and clearly to us. Testament, Letters and Discipleship have proven our favorits, while Ethics remains too doficult and laborious.
