When people suggest in their letters . . . that Im suffering here, I reject the thought. It seems to me a profanation. These things mustnt be dramatized. I doubt very much whether Im suffering any more than you, or most people, are suffering today. Of course, a great deal here is horrible, but where isnt it? . . . No, suffering must be something quite different, and have a quite different dimension, from what Ive so far experienced.--from Letter to Eberhard Bethge from Tegel prison, 9 MarchThese forty-seven stirring devotions will guide and inspire readers as they move thematically through the weeks of Lent and Easter, encountering themes of prayerful reflection, self-denial, temptation, suffering, and the meaning of the cross. Passages from Dietrich Bonhoeffers letters and sermons provide special encouragement as readers prepare themselves spiritually for Holy Week and Easter Sunday. Supplemented by an informative introduction to Bonhoeffers life and a Scripture passage for each day of the season, these daily devotions are moving reminders of the true gift of Christ on the cross.Also available: God Is in the Manger: Reflections on Advent and Christmas.
