Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Called by God
"The family of Dietrich Bonhoeffer is pleased to commend Elizabeth Raum's Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Called By God to a new generation of readers. It is short and quite readable, and covers the main features of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life and witness."—Dorothee Bracher"This new biography…presents Bohnoeffer's life in a less formidable account [than previous biographies], designed for less sophisticated readers. The author was greatly helped by Bethge himself and Bethge's sister-in-law Dorothee Bracher, Bonhoeffer's nice, who read and critiqued the manuscript." -Theology Digest, Summer 2003"Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Called by God provides an excellent introduction to the life of a twentieth-century Christian martyr whose spirit has risen from the ashes of the Flossenburg Nazi Concentration Camp. I believe this 'concise and readable' book is a valuable contribution for future generations. I commend it as a wonderful introduction to the life of a modern martyr to the Christian faith." -John W. Matthews, Spectrum“…this biography is well-written and well-rounded.” –WTBF (Troy Broadcasting Corporation), 2/4/05
