ChelseaVK | Dec 10, 2021 |  Case 4 shelf 4  semoffat | Aug 6, 2021 | Life Together, originally written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer as a reflection and rule of life during his time as leader of the illegal seminary of the Confessing Church in Finkenwalde (Eastern Prussia) in the 1930s, is one of the classic texts of twentieth-century spirituality. Since its first publication in German in 1939, it has influenced Christian individuals and communities in their thinking of what it means to live a life before God. “The person who loves their dream of community” opined Bonhoeffer,” will destroy community, but the person who loves those around them will create ommunity” see also 'An Adventure Shared' by Rowlands (19A) (  ) ExeterQuakers | Jun 20, 2021 | Another classic by Bonhoeffer. Although there is some cultural influence shown based on his life time, the book nonetheless puts so much to consider into so few pages overall. Wonderful. ( ) highlander6022 | Oct 22, 2020 | Very dense, high economy of words, plus the fact that it's translated make it a tough read. That being said, it is worth the effort; a lot of practical advice and recommendations, backed by scripture. "(Silence of the Christian) is a listening silence, humble stillness, that may be interrupted at any time for the sake of humility." (  ) Dustin.glendinning | May 19, 2020 |
 Rich in suggestions for the cultivation of spiritual life. Thought-provoking....Breathes of real humility, love for the saints, and faith.

As challenging as The Cost of Discipleship. Belongs to Publisher SeriesHas as a teacher's guide
After his martyrdom at the hands of the Gestapo in 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer continued his witness in the hearts of Christians around the world. His Letters and Papers from Prison became a prized testimony to Christian faith and courage, read by thousands. Now in Life Together we have Pastor Bonhoeffer's experience of Christian community. This story of a unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years reads like one of Paul's letters. It gives practical advice on how life together in Christ can be sustained in families and groups. The role of personal prayer, worship in common, everyday work, and Christian service is treated in simple, almost biblical, words. Life Together is bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship. No library descriptions found. |

There were some good points in here and some valuable discussions, but other things that I didn't agree with (especially when talking about corporate worship). (
