Chapter 26 of my second novel, We Are Like Fire, regarding my hero Dietrich Bonhoeffer. 26. Renaissance Theater April 7, 1959 Dieter looks around at the other seven of us sitting backstage. “Who’s the most spiritually good human being you can think of who’s lived in our lifetime?”
Added Bonhoeffer's books and a biography to my reading list. Don't know a lot about Bonhoeffer, but I look forward to learning a lot more about his heroism. Heros are fascinating because all too often, they are universal. In peacetime we might have little or anything to do with them, or even in common. But something about their bravery dispels all that.
Heart breaking and inspiring. Would I be able to do the same? I don't know. That is the beauty of history. It can teach us. Makes me wonder why anyone would support a dictator, especially one who starts a war by taking over a neighboring country.
