This is very exciting and an amazing opportunity to hear and meet the author of one of the most inspirational books on our 9/12 Project reading list. Eric Metaxas is the author of Bonhoeffer and he will be in central Kentucky next week. If you are not aware of Bonhoeffer’s story you must come and hear about a real hero and martyr, if you have heard or read this book I know you will be there to learn more and meet the author in person.
