Book #26: Bonhoeffer - Eric Metaxas

If you typically don't read non-fiction, this is not the book to start on.

When I set out to read Bonhoeffer I was intrigued by the synopsis of what this book would cover.

"Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life-the theologian and the spy- and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage n the face of monstrous evil".

(the above is an excerpt from the back cover of this book)

Being a college graduate and now a stay at home mom I thought that it wouldn't hurt to choose a book that would challenge me and teach me something.

Unfortunately, I may have chose the wrong time in my life to take on such a massive book.  542 pages that seemed to move so slowly between my fingers. 

If you enjoy history and if you enjoy biographies, than by all means I encourage you to pick this up and give it a whirl.

If, on the other hand, you are like me and you don't typically pick up pieces of non-fiction or biographies for that matter than I might recommend that you hold off.

Unfortunately, I did not complete this book.  It is getting shelved for the time being.

Maybe when I don't have an infant vying for all my attention I'll pick it up and give it another go around.

I am still very intrigued by Bonhoeffer and all that he did and accomplished in his life, just not right now.
