Bonhoeffer - A Review

Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, SpyTim Challies reviews Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy.

His conclusion:
I've often said that there are two kinds of biographies: those where you feel like you've learned about the subject and those where you feel like you've actually met the subject. It is the latter that are the great biographies and Bonhoeffer is among that number. As you finish this biography you will know the events of Bonhoeffer's life; but even better, you'll feel like you've come face-to-face with the man himself. That is the mark of a good biography and about the highest praise I think I can offer. This is truly a good biography and one you'll benefit from reading. And I suggest you do just that; it may just be the best biography you read this year.
