"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 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.

Very Good, But Didn't Live Up to the Hype This book is one I've been meaning to read for years. It has been quoted and referenced in so many other books, sermons, and articles on Christian community. It's densely packed with tons of sweet truths to suck on for hours like a good cough drop. I can definitely understand why it has been so loved, but it just didn't quite live up to all the hype. My expectations were obviously too high. The book is just too short and brief to be a definitive book on Christian fellowship. However, it would be hard to imagine not including these principles and truths when discussing life together in Christ. I liked it a lot and will use this book to train up people in our church because it is short and sweet.An incredibly well written (and I assume well translated) explanation ... An incredibly well written (and I assume well translated) explanation of our (followers of Christ) need of other believers for life to function the way it was designed. Bonhoeffer's insight into what makes the church important to our day to day walk with God, is what makes this book stand out among in spite of the waves of church bettering books that have over-saturated the market in the last few decades. Before anyone reads a book on how the make their church more effective, they ought to read this. In my opinion, it is a quintessential read for anyone aspiring the position of elder or deacon in the church, and maybe just about everybody else who considers themselves a believer in Jesus Christ.and love. This is given that many churches find themselves ... Potentially one of the most important books of modern Christian thought, and this is one of the few books that endeavors to invite Christians into a contemplative life of meditation, work, and love. This is given that many churches find themselves generating artificial, Americanized communities that stand in sharp contrast to the community Christ sought while on earth. An irony is that, rather than point a person away from church and sinners, Bonhoeffer encourages us toward church and sinners. We may not even have the chance to love until we have lived in community, sinned against a brother/sister, and have been forgiven. One is given an opportunity to read what Christianity would be "in context" for Christianity cannot be separated from community and common suffering.This book is for people that want to try living in community in a way that asks more of us all, and for those who also interested in ordering their lives with mediation, scripture, and sharing a common life.
