Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community
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.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
When I think of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, some words Gorky used of Tolstoy come into my mind--Look what a wonderful man is living on the earth.’
Malcolm Muggeridge
AUTHOR OF JESUS
Seldom has the challenge as well as the joy of living together in Christ been articulated so clearly and convincingly as by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Henri J. M. Nouwen
Most books can be skimmed quickly; some deserve careful reading; a precious few should be devoured and digested. Life Together ... belongs to the third category.
Richard Foster
AUTHOR OF CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE
". . . the finest single volume I have ever read on the character of Christian community, it was the first book that set me on a lifelong journey to understand the meaning of grace."
