Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My soul finds rest functions on two levels. It is a book of probing, personal ruminations on the Psalms and their implications for practical Christian living. And it is a revelation of the man behind the messages who allowed the Psalms to search his heart and change over time his understanding of God's Word and his conduct as a citizen of the world. From his sermon on Psalm 127 delivered in 1926 when he was a twenty-year old theology student, through his series of sermons and lectures on the Psalms delivered from 1935-1937, to his poetry and letters in Flossenberg prison pending his execution in 1945, the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer reveal more than a caring pastor and profound theologian. They show us a human heart gripped by the Scriptures, responding to the call to be not merely a hearer of the Word, but one who embodies it in life and action. Including brief biographical notes, MY SOUL FINDS REST covers the broad arch of Bonhoeffer's prayerful and soul-searching relationship with the Psalms from young manhood to modern martyrdom. Stamped by a life of integrity , his words as powerfully and relevantly as when they were first penned.'--from dust jacket.
