Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A Spoke in the Wheel
Dietrich Bonhoeffer is one of the heroes of World War II. Not only did he preach God’s word fearlessly, he spoke and actively resisted the evil of the Nazi regime. Discovered to be one of the people behind the plot to assassinate Hitler, he was arrested and eventually martyred.
Today he is remembered for his writings, including his letters from prison and commentaries. This is a gritty, real-life story of perseverance. Dietrich Bonhoeffer is widely known for his challenging call to Christian devotion, The Cost of Discipleship.
Not long before his death he was engaged to be married, and this unfulfilled marriage is one of the bittersweet notes to his story. His faith in Christ and commitment to fully serve Him ultimately led to his death. But he went to his execution with peace, confident that he was serving the Lord who had saved him.

A Cup of Cold Water: The Compassion of Nurse Edith Cavell
$13.50In God’s timing, Edith is made director of a nursing school in Belgium, for training younger nurses — and World War I breaks out. Caught suddenly in the turmoil of this huge international conflict, Edith finds herself surrounded by enemy spies. Still, Edith courageously continues to serve the Allied soldiers who desperately need her help.
With Belgium under German occupation, Edith and her nursing students cared for many soldiers in their hospital, on both sides of the war. After a soldier was released from the hospital, he was supposed to report to the German police. Instead, Edith and her nurses helped smuggle many of the Allied troops out of the country so they could avoid capture by the Germans.
