Metaxas presents the fullest accounting of Bonhoeffer’s heart-wrenching decision to leave the safe haven of America to return to Hitler’s Germany, and sheds new light on Bonhoeffer’s involvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in “Operation 7,” the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerland. In a deeply moving narrative, Metaxas uses previously unavailable documents?including personal letters, detailed journal entries, and firsthand personal accounts?to reveal dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life and theology never before seen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes Readers’ Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“[A] beautifully constructed biography.” —Alan Wolfe, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe New Republic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Metaxas tells Bonhoeffer’s story with passion and theological sophistication.” —\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“[A] weighty, riveting analysis of the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.” —\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Metaxas presents Bonhoeffer as a clear-headed, deeply convicted Christian who submitted to no one and nothing except God and his Word.” —\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Metaxas has written a book that adds a new dimension to World War II, a new understanding of how evil can seize the soul of a nation and a man of faith can confront it.” —Thomas Fleming, author, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe New Dealers’ War\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Metaxas has created a biography of uncommon power—intelligent, moving, well researched, vividly written, and rich in implication for our own lives.
