Author Description

"In the face of the horrors of the Nazi regime, the spirit of Dietrich Bonhoeffer burned its brightest. From his cell in Flossenburg Prison, where he awaited execution for conspiring to assassinate Adolf Hilter, this beloved pastor, theologian, writer, and voice of Christian conscience wrote ten powerful poems, charged with the white-hot emotions and disarming candor of a man who lived and ultimately died by the truth."--BOOK JACKET.
