Has anyone ever used "Seize the Day" by Bonhoeffer? Looking to pick it up and just wanted to see what others thought of it.
Thanks, Steve |

Are you talking about "Seize the Day with Dietrick Bonhoeffer"? This is a devotional book that mediates on a particular saying of Bonhoeffer combined with a Bible reading. It is written by Dr Charles Ringma who is a Dutch-born Australian citizen trained at the Reformed Theological College in Geelong and The University of Queensland Brisbane Australia. I see readers on Amazon give it a 4 1/2 star review, but the criticism I see of it is that it is more Charles Ringma than Bonheffer.

Yes, that was the book I was referring to. I'm looking for a daily devotional and it seemed right to get one with a Lutheran slant, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it.
Thanks. |

Seems like it will have a more Reformed slant to it, but there is nothing that says you can't learn anything from the Reformed people--just be careful with the double predestination thing. |

Got it. Thanks for that. I guess it would have a reformed slant, if the autor is Reformed :-). |

"Carpe Cyprinus carpio diem," which being translated is, "Seize the Carp of the Day ... " |

Concordia, try 40-Day Journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It's published by Augsburg Fortress, a Lutheran publisher. I've not used this one yet (it's in the queue), but I've used other 40 Day Journey devotionals, and have found them to very much have a Lutheran slant, and to challenge me to dig a little deeper both into Scripture and into where I am spiritually. Here's the link at Amazon: |
