![Mornings with Bonhoeffer: 100 Reflections on the Christian Life by [McKim, Donald K.]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61xddmShGNL.jpg)
Here is the book summary:
“No priest, no theologian stood at the cradle of Bethlehem. And yet, all Christian theology finds its beginnings in the miracle of miracles, that God became human.”
These stirring words are just a sample of the wisdom found in this collection of 100 devotions that guide and inspire us. Mornings with Bonhoeffer provides an acute understanding of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s theological perspectives, helping us to reflect on what his thoughts can mean for faith and the Christian experience. Short excerpts from Bonhoeffer’s letters and passages from his sermons, paired with the daily devotions, offer timeless and moving reminders of God’s love for humanity speaking to the “head” and “heart” of theological understanding and personal faith.
Dr. Donald K. McKim brings Bonhoeffer to life in this beautiful devotional that provides understanding of often misunderstood, multifaceted writings as well as an inside look at the imperfect man behind the saintly image. The result is a heartrending portrait that provides Bonhoeffer’s true insights, as well as insight into the faith that sustained and redeemed him.
And now, my review:
Dietrich Bonhoeffer is a favorite of mine. There’s
so much to be learned through the writings/teachings of others. This author takes some quotes that Dietrich
has expressed, ties it to a Scripture, and adds
his thoughts. It is a
100-devotional book that is separated into 2 categories with more splits
underneath those. The first part is
about believing as a Christian and the second part is about living it out.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
