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! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Young readers will be thrilled by the near-miss attempts to kill Hitler. The plots involve deception, gut-wrenching timing, and concealed explosives: a bomb in a gift package, a rigged docent conducting a tour of captured weaponry, and an explosive briefcase snuck into the heart of Hitler's fortress\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003eBut Hendrix makes the bold and surprising decision to tell it as a tale of faith. It makes this book unique, one as much about morality as it is about the attempted murder of one of history's most heinous leaders. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hendrix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 141973265X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419732652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry N.
