After enjoying John Bird's review of "Bonhoefer" I've just purchased a copy for myself. The subtitle alone is sufficient motivation for me to read this book, not to mention the subject of the bio. Biographies have historically not been my favorite type of literature for they are often to boring to keep my attention. This biography is different. John was right and I cannot wait to read more!
