If you are looking for a summer reading book, try Eric Metaxas’ biography Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy (Thomas Nelson). It is the well-written and engaging story of the German pastor-theologian who opposed Hilter and ultimately paid for that with his life. Among his writings were the influential book The Cost of Discipleship, and Bonhoeffer’s own life was evidence of a man who knew the cost and followed Christ despite the cost. It is a fascinating story that will inspire the reader.
