This quote sums up Pastor Bonhoeffer:
In his book “Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy,” Eric Metaxas quotes the camp doctor, H. Fischer-Hullstrung, who had met Bonhoeffer only the day before.
“I saw Pastor Bonhoeffer … kneeling on the floor praying most fervently to his God. I was deeply moved by the way this most lovable man prayed, so devout and so certain that God heard his prayer. At the place of execution, he again said a short prayer and then climbed the steps to the gallows, brave and composed. In the almost fifty years I have worked as a doctor, I have hardly ever seen a man die so entirely submissive to the will of God.”
Two weeks later, Allied troops entered Flossenburg.
Just finished the book by Eric Metaxas. I was telling my father it was great and that I would lend it to him when I was finished.
