Heart of Flesh, Gillian Court
The author presents the role of the prophetic in Bonhoeffer's life and work comparing his message with the message of the Hebrew prophets of the 6th century BC. The lessons to be learned continue to resonate in the climate of the 21st century, at a time of change, shaking and dismantling of established structures and the resultant confusion among the people of God.

Bonhoeffer and Britain, Keith Clements
100 years after his birth, and just over 60 years after his death, the life and witness of Dietrich Bonhoeffer remain as provocatively relevant as ever in a world where religion is too often silent in face of injustice. This book offers new insights into Bonhoeffer for those already familiar with him, and a valuable introduction for those to whom he is still just a name. Buy

A World Transformed is an exploration of the definition of a truly civil society in these changing times, where social transformation and a Christian engagement with society 's issues are a reality. Highly, recommended for every reader who is, or wishes to become, socially aware. Buy
Changing Mission, Stuart Murray Williams
New church, fresh expressions of church, future church or emerging church - what exactly can be learned from the new churches? Stuart Murray Williams brings an Anabaptist perspective to these questions, reflecting on the significance of the new many forms of Church arising today. The western church is in trouble and believes that the questions it faces are theological and missiological rather than ecclesiological. Buy
Bishop George Bell - The Greatest Churchman, Peter Raina
George Bell was alive at one of the most crucial times in modern history. In speaking in the House of Lords of the distinction between the Hitler state and the German nations, he put his own career on the line; determined to pursue international reconciliation, his work both during and after the war helped to build the Europe we know today. Bell's friendship with Bonhoeffer was important in revealing the evil of Nazism to a wider world.
