This collection of letters between Maria von Wedemeyer and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, was written while he was in prison following his part in a plot to assassinate Hitler. Bonhoeffer was eventually to be executed. A few of the letters are written by Dietrich himself. They show his passionate and romantic side, which has always been shielded by his public image. He had said earlier in his life that he would not live beyond 37. It was in fact at the age of 37 that he met Maria and fell hopelessly in love with her. They never had the chance to spend much time together - a matter of weeks in fact - so their love affair was conducted in these letters.

The Times (London) Literary Supplement gives this nice description of this book on the back of the cover. It reads: "A rigorously patient exposition of the Sermon on the Mount, which compels the reader to face himself, and God, in any situation. A very moving book, lived as well as written."

The Cost of Discipleship

Scribner Paper Fiction

The Christian does not live in a vacuum, says the author, but in a world of government, politics, labor, and marriage. Hence, Christian ethics cannot exist in a vacuum; what the Christian needs, claims Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is concrete instruction in a concrete situation. Although the author died before completing his work, this book is recognized as a major contribution to Christian ethics. 
 The root and ground of Christian ethics, the author says, is the reality of God as revealed in Jesus Christ. This reality is not manifest in the Church as distinct from the secular world; such a juxtaposition of two separate spheres, Bonhoeffer insists, is a denial of God's having reconciled the whole world to himself in Christ. On the contrary, God's commandment is to be found and known in the Church, the family, labor, and government. His commandment permits man to live as man before God, in a world God made, with responsibility for the institutions of that world.

The Martyred Christian

Macmillian

After his martyrdom at the hands of the Gestapo in 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer continued his witness in the hearts of Christians around the world. His Letters and Papers from Prison became a prized testimony to Christian faith and courage, read by thousands. Now in Life Together we have Pastor Bonhoeffer's experience of Christian community. This story of a unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years reads like one of Paul's letters. It gives practical advice on how life together in Christ can be sustained in families and groups. The role of personal prayer, worship in common, everyday work, and Christian service is treated in simple, almost biblical, words. Life Together is bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.
