The  group   helped to  get   12  Jews  out of Germany  safely.  The people in the group took a stance against  what was  wrong even though it was a risk  to their own lives.   Dietrich  also   wrote Christian  books. He   wrestled with difficult  issues.  Dietrich and his  group  did not like the   stance of the Nazi  Regime in  their  world.  The   Military  Intelligence   plotted to kill  Hitler.   It  was a difficult  stance to take  with   such a strong   military group  to back Hitler.  As a pastor He  encountered   Maria von Wedemeyer and her  family.   They  had lost her  father  and  brother  during the War.  He  reached out as a pastor to the family.  During that  time  He  fell in love with  Maria.  A relationship with Maria is very risky for  Dietrich   because of  his Military Intelligence involvement. Her  mother   tried to   limit her involvement  with Dietrich  since   He was so at  risk for being arrested.   Maria and Dietrich  still found a  way to  spend time together.  When  Dietrich is arrested what will become of  his relationship with Maria?  This   book is well  researched.  The reader will  feel like   they are part of  the time period of World War 11.  The  sacrifice  Dietrich took  for his  Christian  faith is  very inspiring.    Would you be willing to sacrifice your faith  , life  for  what is  right as a Christian?   This book is outstanding and so hard to put down.  You  wonder what is around the corner next.  for Dietrich and his family. The   book was given to me by  the publisher to read and review . I was under no obligation to give a positive review.  Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read and review this  outstanding book."
