Publisher Description
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.

"So I don't like giving 5 stars to things...and in our discussion I gave it the equivalent of 4 but I have decided to give it 5! This book is excellent and really emphasizes how everything comes back to Christ and the way you interact with Him. Def. one of my favorites"

" I didn't learn much from this book. I think it's a fairly good read, but it didn't live up to my expectations. Bummer. I feel like his ideas for community only work if someone lives away from society, like in on a farm in the 1800s, Amish-style. Nevertheless, he has some good points, too. "
