Over a year ago, a friend and classmate in my Doctor of Ministry program at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary e-mailed me and asked me if I had Mark Devine’s book: “Bonhoeffer Speaks Today: Following Jesus at All Costs.” I e-mailed him back and told him that I did not.
He kindly sent me a copy of it. Since then, I have found the book very useful and have referred to it several times in my thesis-project. Devine makes the following claim which I agree with:
“Bonhoeffer has much to say to Bible-believing Christians in the twenty-first century” (17).
That is the purpose of this blog about Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I want to get the word out about the impact he can have on our preaching, ministry and life. Yesterday, I posted the first of six ways, Bonhoeffer can impact us, namely his emphasis on meditating on the Word of God.
Bonhoeffer’s heart and mind was immersed with the scriptures because he meditated on them on a regular basis. He claimed that scripture meditation was vital for every pastor.
What do you think about that? I would love to read your comments on this subject.
Thank you,
Bryan
