God's Man - The Story of Pastor Niemoeller (Hardcover, New edition)

At about this same time there is being published by Doubleday a biography of Martin Niemoeller called Pastor Niemoeller, by Dietmar Schmidt, a German journalist. We have reviewed it on p. 738. Now God's Man, by an American author, Clarissa Davidson, a friend of the family, makes its appearance, and we read the same story, in the same sequence of events, and the man who emerges is the same man of controversy and contradiction, but a true pastor and family man who is loved by those who know him best and respected by those who have reason to fear his integrity and forthrightness. But Davidson writes a more human story with more direct quotations from the conversation and writing of Niemoeller, and a more exact and detailed description of some of his experiences which could only have originated from God's Man himself, sharing his deeper thoughts with a trusted friend. It's a book worth reading by those who may wonder whether the Christian faith really works under the cruel strain of concentration camp persecution. The answer of Martin Niemeoller's life is that it works best there. (Kirkus Reviews)

Here is the dramatic story of Martin Niemoeller's evolution from brilliant U$boat commander and strong German nationalist in World War I to a churchman who spent 8 years in concentration camps as Hitler's personal prisoner.
