Make haste!

I never thought I would sell my copy of this book, but the above reviewer made it clear to me that it needs to be passed around. Anyone who will give me $7.50 will get a magnificent copy to give to the sick and the dying. Easter is right around the corner, so hurry up!

Easter Meditations - On Life and Death and Heaven

Similar to other Bonhoeffer works, the content of this book is taken from several works. The artwork and layout of the book are magnificent and compliment the text beautifully. Even though he was a great theologian, Bonhoeffer was very "practical" and realistic; he understands the human heart and the human condition. This small volume has great depth and a host of valuable insights. I have given it to people who are very sick, those who are dying, and those who simply need comfort. It shows that the mystery of Easter is the mystery of life. It's too bad, however, that it's so expensive. Were it half the usual price, I would buy more to pass out to everyone. Notwithstanding, a wonderful book.
