The Faithful Spy

The Faithful Spy
The Faithful Spy is the accurate account of German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who wrestled with God’s command “Thou shall not kill” and the urgency of freeing the German people from the tyranny of Adolph Hitler. With both 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, a decision that would ultimately cost Bonhoeffer his life. The Faithful Spy shows both Bonhoeffer’s physical and spiritual struggles alongside Hitler’s continual rise to power.

Using green and red visuals 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. Publisher: Amulet Books
