A highly informative biography of not only Dietrich Bonhoeffer, but of the mindset of the people (both Christian and non) at the time. It is a reminder of what can happen anywhere, even within the United States. There is an abridged version, but the reader will miss out on a wealth of detail.

A good reminder of what the Christian walk should be about in this life. The author lays out a year long challenge to (1) pray for the entire world, (2) read through the entire Word, (3) sacrifice your money for a specific purpose, (4) spend your time in another context, and (5) commit your life to multiplying community. Something worth considering.
by C H Spurgeon
Parenting is more that working with molding our children in the flesh, it is spiritual in nature. "Charles Spurgeon shows how you can establish a secure, nurturing, Christ–centered home in which to grow strong, healthy, happy families."
