Description
Dietrich grew up in a large religious family. His brothers and sisters all aspired to be great scientists and lawyers. He, however, desired to become a theologian, a desire that bewildered his siblings. He had enjoyed learning about how to think about God his entire life. The church was a big part of who he was, so he wanted to help make it a part of other peoples' lives too. He dedicated a lot of time to learning about God, but he knew little of having a relationship with God. Dietrich journeyed to various places around the world in search of a true purpose, relationship, and knowledge of God. While he was away from home, the war in Germany and Europe continued to grow worse because of Hitler's quest for power. Feeling a duty to serve God and country, he made his way back home to help fight for right in his homeland. Becoming a spy to fight against the “purist's" cause, he plays the part of a dedicated Nazi in an attempt to aid in Hitler's murder and dethroning. An admirable, yet dangerous mission. This book relays Dietrich's family history, rise in education, the oppression of Hitler's rule, assassination attempts, and more in a creative and colorful way. The pages of this historical biography are filled with bold and vibrant artwork, graphic novel bits, statistical graphs, and several more interesting visuals and informative illustrations. 175 pgs, pb.
Publisher's Description of Faithful Spy: Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Plot to Kill Hitler
Adolf Hitler's Nazi party is gaining strength and becoming more menacing every day. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor upset by the complacency of the German church toward the suffering around it, forms a breakaway church to speak out against the established political and religious authorities. When the Nazis outlaw the church, he escapes as a fugitive. Struggling to reconcile his faith and the teachings of the Bible with the Nazi Party's evil agenda, Bonhoeffer decides that Hitler must be stopped by any means possible!
In his signature style of interwoven handwritten text and art, John Hendrix tells the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who makes the ultimate sacrifice in order to free the German people from oppression during World War II.
