My name is Judah. I like to play soccer, alpine ski and x- country ski. Some of my favorite books are the Golden Goblet and A Night Divided .
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is an historically accurate book written by Janet and Geoff Benge. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born to a German family on February 4th, 1906. Dietrich grew up with many siblings, being one of eight to grow up in the Bonhoeffer house. At age twenty-one Dietrich Bonhoeffer went to the University of Humboldt Berlin. Although having a theology degree, Bonhoeffer was used by the Lord to teach and help pastors to stay strong in times of trouble under Hitler. Dietrich would also go on and work with many others in a secret attempt to kill Hitler and end his evil dictatorship. Although they came up with several assassination attempts, none of them proved to be successful.
Sadly, Deitrich and some others were found out and were taken to prison where they would stay for over two years before being put to death less than a week before Germany surrendered to the Allies. In his time in prison, he wrote many prayers and a theological interpretation of Genesis 1-3. Through this book, there are many close encounters, escaping the Gestapo and showing how much Dietrich Bonhoeffer was able accomplished under heavy pressure.
