During the season of Lent, as a church we are going to be reading Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s highly regarded, Life Together. This might seem like an interesting book for the season of Lent, but in Lent we are called out of our comfort zones, we are reminded of our insufficiencies, and our utter reliance upon God. In Life Together Bonhoeffer calls us to action, to discipleship, and to communal living. In our fast-paced overly busy world, the call to communal life together is indeed a call out of our comfort zones, out of the busyness, the stress, and the deadlines we’ve become so accustomed to. So, together we are going to embrace the call for life, Life Together.
To help individuals, small groups, and bible studies, we have compiled a weekly companion to Bonhoeffer’s Life Together. This companion follows the chapters of the book and provides a description of the main ideas in each chapter, along with discussion questions to be used either in a group setting or for individual reflection. We hope this companion will bring about meaningful discussion and spiritual growth as we journey through Lent together.
