Breakfast with Bonhoeffer by Jon Walker
While Jon Walker was encountering Bonhoeffer every day as he wrote the books Costly Grace and In Visible Fellowship, he found his world collapsing and his faith faltering. After almost twenty years in ministry, Walker was laid off twice, lost his home and savings, was diagnosed with bipolar I disorder, and then his wife filed for divorce just a few days before their twenty-fourth anniversary.Bonhoeffer saw the storms of political upheaval and pressure on Christians coming at warp speed, and he called believers to meet it head on by following Jesus, who bids believers to come and die.
In BREAKFAST WITH BONHOEFER, Walker brings to a new generation the timeless teachings of Bonhoeffer, especially the teaching that calls Jesus' followers to break free from the tyranny of popular culture and religious thinking. It also offers hope for those who face loss or have been hurt by the economic downturn.
Jon Walker is a senior policy analyst for Firedoglake.com, where in 2009 he helped guide the progressive conversation on health care reform. In 2010, he helped launch FDL's Just Say Now campaign to support marijuana legalization efforts across the country. He is a graduate of Wesleyan University.
