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.
