Bonhoeffer: The Cost of Freedom

I've mentioned before how highly I think of Focus on the Family's Radio Theatre--audio dramatizations on CD with superb acting and excellent production.
One in particular to get is the 3-CD set, Bonhoeffer: The Cost of Freedom. Here's the description:

With faith comes a price. What are you willing to pay? That's the question explored in Bonhoeffer: The Cost of Freedom. Chronicling the life of German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, this provocative Peabody award-winning dramatization shares the story of one man's battle against the evils of Nazism, a decadent culture, and compromising church--something that's not so foreign to society today. Challenging and compelling, it's entertainment with a message!

They do top-notch stuff. Say it loud, say it proud.
In fact, I'll come out of the closet and admit that... well, you know Adventures in Odyssey? I keep buying albums for my kids.
"For my kids," I said.

My parents bought several of the Focus on the Family Radio Theater audio dramatizations when I was growing up. They're all awesome. However, I do specifically remember listening to that one. I remember it being very impacting to me as a highschooler. If you get a chance, you should also listen to their dramatizations of the Chronicles of Narnia...they're incredible!
My wife and I love Adventures in Odyssey.
I may have to go shopping.
psst -- you can DL them in mp# at ChristianAudio.
I wonder if this is faithful to Bonhoeffer's teaching. Duke Theologian Stanley Hauerwas recently spoke on John Howard Yoder and Bonhoeffer, and one of the statements he made was that you can't take one without the other. He particularly highlighted that Reformed Christians want to affirm Bonhoeffer's legacy, while ignoring Yoder's teaching, broadly, and narrowly regarding the Christian practice of non-violence. I appreciated his talk, which was given several years ago at Wheaton College on the Sermon on the Mount. It has since been published in a book here. Check it out! :)
