Life Together

The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community

De: Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Narrado por: Paul Michael

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.

Meaty and Convicting

Life Together is full of meat for the Christian aspiring to go deeper in their walk with Christ, and others. Very quotable. Let it sink in.

Aspiring

Brings you closer to the all mighty. Makes you think. Wish the world was more in tune with god

Some great thoughts from an inspiring Christian

Some interesting and simple thoughts by Bonhoeffer. There were some good nuggets in this short book about alien righteousness, the Psalms and how in them we find the praying Christ, and meditation. This work has really encouraged me to start again a morning devotional/time set a part for reading the word, singing, and prayer. He also had some interesting thoughts on singing and the idea of unity singing as a congregation. I fully agreed with him on the idea that our singing can turn into a work of self glorifying (my term) of sorts and that if we simply sing in unity it can be a form of corporate prayer.

I'll have to read this one again, maybe next year, to get more out of it as simple as it was. There were also some very good ideas for evening devotionals as a family.

Uplifting and Intelligent

Considering the time period in which Life Together was written, I was surprised by the positve and life affirming attitude of the writer. Moreover I found myself agreeing whole heartedly with his arguments for community and oneness. Bonhoefer's position is a strong affirmation of Christan ethics , beliefs, and the responsibility of each and evvery one of us to do that which is right in the sight if God. tg

Wonderful Insights into Christian Community

Thoughtful, faithful and obedient was the man Bonhoeffer. This book gives his thoughts on Christian Community. Loved it.
