The first fully illustrated book that tells the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the pastor who conspired to kill Hitler

---

Adolf Hitler´s Nazi party is gaining strength and becoming more menacing every day. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor upset by the complacency of the German church toward the suffering around it, forms a breakaway church to speak out against the established political and religious authorities. When the Nazis outlaw the church, he escapes as a fugitive. Struggling to reconcile his faith and the teachings of the Bible with the Nazi Party´s evil agenda, Bonhoeffer decides that Hitler must be stopped by any means possible!

In his signature style of interwoven handwritten text and art, John Hendrix tells the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who makes the ultimate sacrifice in order to free the German people from oppression during World War II.

"This is quite a time to be looking back at Nazis. A year after President Donald Trump defended Charlottesville protesters carrying swastikas, a staffer in the Department of Homeland Security resigned last month after his ties to white nationalist organizations were exposed. Whether or not this is the ´30s all over again, Adolf Hitler seems to be on people´s tongues, making this a great time for John Hendrix´s deep look at a real-life German theologian who refused to let his conception of Christianity become an accessory to genocide against minorities. Hendrix´s beautiful blue-and-red layouts position the evolution of Dietrich Bonhoeffer´s religious convictions against the historical tapestry of the Nazis´ rise. It would be a vivid read at any time, but feels especially relevant now." Entertainment Weekly
