The Cost of Discipleship is the one you see quoted from most often. But make sure you get a good translation — there are some bad ones out there.

What are 3 reasons Dietrich Bonhoeffer got arrested or executed?
I know what of the reason was that he try to assassinate Adolf H.
weight loss cardiff answers:
Bonhoeffer was arrested by the Gestapo for involvement in a private currrency affair. In the subsequent investigations the Gestapo uncovered Dohnanyi’s operation in which 14 Jews were sent to Switzerland ostensibly as Abwehr agents and large sums in foreign currency were paid to them as compensation for confiscated properties. The Gestapo, which had been looking for any dirt to discredit Abwehr, sensed that they had a corruption case against Dohnanyi and searched his office at Abwehr, where they discovered notes revealing Bonhoeffer’s foreign contacts and other documents related to the anti-Hitler conspiracy. One of them was a note that discussed plans for a journey by Bonhoeffer to Rome, where he would explain to church leaders why the assassination attempts on Hitler in March 1943 had failed. [28]. Nevertheless, Bonhoeffer’s involvement in assassination plots was not known by the Gestapo as Abwehr succeeded in explaining away the most damning documents as official coded Military Intelligence materials. Dohnanyi and Bonhoeffer were, however, suspected of subverting Nazi policy toward Jews and misusing Abwehr for inappropriate purposes. Bonhoeffer was, for instance, suspected of evading military call-up, using Abwehr to circumvent Gestapo injunction against public speaking and staying in Berlin, using Abwehr to further Confessing Church works, etc.
Chris asks…
What would Dietrich Bonhoeffer think of CBN?
I just saw a link on CBN for the movie “Bonhoeffer: Agent of Grace.” If I understand his politics I don’t think he would care much for that gang.
