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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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 help free the German people from oppression during World War II. Young readers will be thrilled by the near-miss attempts to kill Hitler. The plots involve deception, gut-wrenching timing, and concealed explosives: a bomb in a gift package, a rigged docent conducting a tour of captured weaponry, and an explosive briefcase snuck into the heart of Hitler's fortress. But Hendrix makes the bold and surprising decision to tell it as a tale of faith. It makes this book unique, one as much about morality as it is about the attempted murder of one of history's most heinous leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCautions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Redeemed Reader notes \"frightening images, intense situations.\" See full review \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/2018\/10\/the-faithful-spy-by-john-hendrix\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAges:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10+\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storyglory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45156443062594,"sku":"FHENDRJO____THEFAITHFULSPYDIETRI9781419732652","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/3457\/4658\/products\/The_faithful_spy.jpg?v=1684385054"},{"product_id":"wbf144","title":"The Hiding Place: An Engaging Visual Journey, by Corrie Ten Boom","description":"\u003cp\u003e(Paperback, 160 pages, first published in 2022)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Hiding Place\u003c\/em\u003e is Corrie ten Boom's personal story of faith, forgiveness, and love for the persecuted Jewish community during the World War II Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland.
