Bonhoeffer (Abridged): Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy tells the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer - his faith, courage, and impact. This abridged version was the perfect way for me to gain insight into Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Having read just a bit of Bonhoeffer’s work I was intrigued and this provided a detailed account of his family, early life, vocation, and commitment to the will of God. 

Eric Metaxas writes beautifully and includes original sources and letters from, to, and about Bonhoeffer. I learned a lot and enjoyed the process. It was very moving and never dry. 

This is an inspiring account of a man loved by so many who courageously and faithfully served people and God. It’s also a historical account of evil and the fight against evil. I highly recommend this book - especially the abridged which was doable for me. I really enjoy people’s stories and this is a great one.
