Welcome to Litsy!

This book was the pick of a book club I just joined. I knew some generalities about the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer‘s life, but this book made his story come alive for me. You feel the characters wrestle with their doubts and fears in the face of the great evil. There is one scene I wish the author hadn‘t included. Finding out it never happened was a bit crushing. If you want a unique view of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, this book is for you.

“Guide me through this darkness, O Lord...In You, there is still light.”

Congratulations @Megabooks ~ to think I was excited about my Litfluence of 3,333! 💗 meeting Amanda Barratt & reading tagged 📖. #25Etsy supporting local business always wins 🥇 my support. Thank you 👑

From Amanda Barratt ~ 75 years ago, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in Tegel Prison, heard the news that the attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler had failed. That day, he wrote a letter to Eberhard Bethge from prison. When I read this letter while researching My Dearest Dietrich, I was deeply moved. In the midst of fear & loss, instead of giving into despair, Dietrich committed himself even more fully to God.
His words still ring true for each of us.

I enjoyed learning about the personal side of this man.

Dietrich is in prison ~ I knew it was coming after all this is based on a true story but still I'm sad. 😥

I put myself to bed early ~ I have an hour to read but I can‘t stop sharing these quotes.

I wonder how differently we would all live if we had a glimpse of the future?!?

Busy day at work and I've read only one chapter but this story is so good!

Beautiful #LitsyLove today and 11 chapters read.

Seven chapters in and it is captivating!

So much fun at Baker Book House tonight with Amanda Barratt. She is a vivacious young woman. I'm thankful that I'll be able to spend more time with her in August at the Fiction Readers Summit.

Quess where I will be tonight?

“Renowned German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer is famous for his resistance to the Nazi regime and for his allegiance to God over government. But what few realize is that the last years of his life also held a love story that rivals any romance novel.”

I am truly looking forward to reading this book!

This is exciting to me but even more so the friends I'm making, the new authors I'm being introduced, and the incredible encouragement! Thanks!
