The Faithful Spy

The Faithful Spy

The Faithful Spy is the accurate account of German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer. This man wrestled with God's command, "Thou shall not kill," and the urgency of freeing the German people from the tyranny of Adolph Hitler. 

With powerful tri-color drawings and historically accurate text, The Faithful Spy shows how this rather meek man of God could involve himself in a plot to assassinate Hitler. This decision would ultimately cost Bonhoeffer his life. The Faithful Spy shows Bonhoeffer's physical and spiritual struggles alongside Hitler's continual rise to power. The Faithful Spy's illustrations use green and red to indicate good and evil; the intense graphics add clarity and passion to the narrative. If your teen is interested in an honest account of a man who was willing to lose his life because of his convictions, he will enjoy The Faithful Spy.
