Dietrich Bonhoeffer Continued to Work on a New Book Up Until Almost the Last Day

The Bible teaches us to take advantage of each moment because the days are evil. Dietrich Bonhoeffer certainly understood this truth…

On Sunday, 8 October 1944, Bonhoeffer was removed  from Tegel Prison to the cellar prison of the Reich SS headquarters in Prince Albrecht Street. During the two and a half months since 20 July, he had been concentrating on the draft of his new book. Before leaving Tegel he had been able to turn over to his father all his important papers except this last book manuscript, which to took with him. According to fellow prisoners who survived, he kept working on it until shortly before his death.
