The answer lies in the hands of God's people. Increasingly, today’s Christians want to \u003ci\u003ebe\u003c\/i\u003e the church, to follow Christ together in daily life. From every corner of society, they are daring to step away from the status quo and respond to Christ’s call to share their lives more fully with one another and with others. As they take the plunge, they are discovering the rich, meaningful life that Jesus has in mind for all people, and pointing the church back to its original calling: to be a gathered, united community that demonstrates the transforming love of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf course, such a life together with others isn’t easy. The selections in this volume are, by and large, written by practitioners-people who have pioneered life in intentional community and have discovered in the nitty-gritty of daily life what it takes to establish, nurture, and sustain a Christian community over the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhether you have just begun thinking about communal living,\u003c\/b\u003e are already embarking on sharing life with others, or have been part of a community for many years, the pieces in this collection will encourage, challenge, and strengthen you.

In this first collection of the Lutheran pastors letters, this founding member of the Confessing Church, who would be martyred for his active resistance to the Nazi movement, you will find intimate and revealing details essential to the serious Bonhoeffer student and interested reader.   His character and relationships, practice as a pastor and developing theological and political thought, revealed in these previously unknown and unpublished letters, are skilfully and sensitively edited by one of the world's most Bonhoeffer scholar.   The letters have their origin in the dispirited 27 year old's acceptance of a two year appointment to two German-speaking Protestant churches in London: the German Evangelical Church in Sydenham and the German Reformed Church of St Paul's, Whitechapel in the Autumn of 1933. As German churches acquiesced to Hitler's growing power, Bonhoeffer found little support for his views deciding that \"it was about time to go for a while into the desert\".   Fellow theologian, Karl Barth, regarded this as running away from real battle accusing Bonhoeffer of abandoning his post and wasting his \"splendid theological armory\" while \"the house of your church is on fire.\"The letters help explain Bonhoeffer's hopes that, in going to England, he was not simply avoiding trouble at home; but hoping for support from the ecumenical movement in the interest of his anti-Nazi Confessing Church.   Bonhoeffer rallied people to oppose the Nazi subversion of the Gospel to the extent that Bishop Theodor Heckel - the official in charge of German Evangelical Church foreign affairs, was sent to London to warn Bonhoeffer to abstain from any activity not authorized by Berlin.   Bonhoeffer refused to desist from his work. This is the momentous background to this collection of globally significant letters with relevance to formulating the Christian response to the divisive religious and secular forces in the world today.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311673946485,"sku":"9780281066698","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780281066698_fcebf5b2-f329-44d6-845a-98472b07611a.jpg?v=1786012821"},{"product_id":"9781506480190","title":"Psalms","description":"\u003cp\u003eJesus died with a psalm on his lips.
