Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Clifford J. Green, ...

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2004

Read the new edition!
The new edition of Bonhoeffer's ETHICS (Fortress Press 2005)is completely re-arranged, newly translated, full of helpful notes, and includes an introduction and a commentary by the editors. These help explain Bonhoeffer's ethical thinking and his radical critique of Nazi policies. The text and the commentary help the careful reader understand Bonhoeffer's rationale for working in the conspiracy ...

Napoleon's Pyramids

William Dietrich

HarperCollins, 2007

Outstanding Read
I throughly enjoyed this novel. So long as you don't demand too much reality from your works of fiction you will like it too. The main character, Ethan Gage, is a entertaining good Indiana Jones wannabe. In a genre as competitive as the one known as "historical fiction" (pioneered by Umberto Eco and Dan Brown), this book (and its sequel, "The Rosetta Key" are definite standouts. The author ...

La Dietrich
If you were a fan of Dietrich and were allowed to own only ONE book about this woman, then this should be the book to own. To reiterate another reviewer's thought -- it is EXQUISITE.

Hadrians Wall by Dietrich.
Hadrian's Wall: A Novel Despatch to me was prompt. It was of my favourite historical period, and was well-written and researched. Recommended for readers of English Ancient Roman books.

The Rosetta Key

10 reviews
William Dietrich

Harper, 2008

Excellent sequel to Napoleon's Pyramids
Sometimes you hold your breath at a sequel of a really good book. Can the author recapture the magic of the first? You needn't worry about this one-it is as nonstop as the first Ethan Gage book, and then some. I think Indiana Jones would have a hard time keeping up with the search for the Book of Thoth! That is the magical book Ethan, Astiza, the mysterious priestess of Isis, Silano, the ...

Mimi Dietrich's Favorite Applique Quilts (That Patchwork Place)

4 reviews
Mimi Dietrich

Martingale and Company, 2007

Destined to be a favorite
The usual for quilt books would be one or two of the patterns are winners; not so with this book. The market for this book will be traditional quilters as the patterns are not artsy. All the patterns are creative, beautiful, warm and very doable. It's a shame the publisher does not include pictures. You will find all the patterns will fall on your "to do" list of quilts to make. The applique ...

Letter and Papers from Prison

16 reviews
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Touchstone, 1997

Insightful and moving letters that transcend human created myth.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Letters & Papers from Prison was a most edifying read, primarily because it stripped away the mystery and mythical aura that surrounded him, before and after his murder by the Nazis in 1945. The fact that his reputation is so universally well known is greatly due in part to his brother-in-law, the late Eberhard Bethge. Having been raised in a very German household ...

Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community

39 reviews
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

HarperOne, 1978

The Reality of Christian Fellowship
This is a great little book, a classic that all Christians should read. At roughly 128 pages, this is a short treatise on Christian community that is very accessible. In the first chapter of this book Bonhoeffer presents his understanding of the reality of Christian community. Bonhoeffer's basic claim is that Christian community is a reality, both in the mundane realm and in the spiritual ...

Baltimore Bouquets
The blocks are beautiful. I am a new quilter and found this book so easy to understand. It gave clear and easy directions for the techniques used for each flower, leaf & stem. As well as the basic stitches. I have now completed my fourth block. I love it!

The Scourge of God

HarperTorch, 2006

(4.5 stars) It's the end of the world as we know it...
Generally speaking I have a policy about epic books and that is they have to be long. After all if you're telling a tale of an epic battle, or generations in a family life, or about two civilizations clashing together (or crumbling) shouldn't it be long? Shouldn't there be hundreds and hundreds of pages to mull over, to fit every detail into it and every perspective? Most of the time, it suits an ...

Discipleship (Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, Vol. 4)

2 reviews
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2003

The Heart of Bonhoeffer
The fourth volume, "Discipleship" in the Bonhoeffer works series is an outstanding representation of not just Bonhoeffer the theologian, but Bonhoeffer the man as well. The fresh translation brings back to life the passion with which this man of God lived his life. Bonhoeffer viewed the church of his day as falling away from the teachings of Jesus, but within the pages of, "Discipleship", he ...

Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Biography

6 reviews
Eberhard Bethge

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2000

A Testament to Excellence
About 20 years ago, I read an older translation of this biography. Then, as now, a reader cannot help but be impressed by the thorough and meticulous scholarship that went into its preparation. Because of its size and scope (900+ pages), it may be somewhat daunting to new readers who may be just now encountering Bonhoeffer. However, given the nature of his literary output (Bonheoffer was ...

Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Brief Life

1 review
Renate Bethge

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2004

A "brief" life indeed...
Although the book is clearly written and set up in a very reader friendly way, it is too brief. Since Renate Bethge is/was Bonhoeffer's niece the book is very trustworthy and gives good insight. However, the book's 86 pages of text could no doubt be shortened to 25 pages merely by lessening the margin space. The format of the book would fit poetry better than a biography. A slow reader, like the ...

Renate Wind

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1992

Easy to understand, thorough biograph
This biography was easy to read, yet a thorough and complete picture of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life. It high lighted the most esential parts, and quotes, of his life and theology. I truly appreciated it and am sharing it with others.

A Year with Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Daily Meditations from His Letters, Writings, and Sermons

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

HarperOne, 2006

All in One
I have enjoyed the writings of Bonhoeffer for decades and I have been led to think through many of his ethical situations and his choices between peace and the need of the victims. On this 100th anniversary of Bonhoeffer's birth it would be easy to run out an buy all his works. Yet, here, in one very-well-edited manual are the best of the best excerpts of his writings, his thoughts, his ...

Getting Back

Grand Central Publishing, 2000

I adored it and will read it over and over
You know I used to have a really high rating as an Amazon reviewer. I don't know exactly what it was but it was in the top 1000. I used to do fairly boring reviews devoid of controversy and in my opinion - interest and my rating was high - lots of "helpful" votes. Lately I have started to write about more emotional works such as "Runaway Jury" and global warming, aids, evolotion and ID, that ...
