Description

The life of Wilhelm Busch progressed from a Christian home, through conversion amidst the horrors of the First World War, to student life against the background of the crushing inflation of the Weimar Republic period. Then followed the Nazi period, times of suffering lived out against the background of falling bombs. This is Wilhelm Busch's story in his own words, but more than that it is a dramatic record of the power and faithful love of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Endorsement

"Dietrich Bonhoeffer, reflective Christians know, but few are aware of faithful pastors such as Wilhelm Busch, who refused to bow to Hitler’s demand for compromising silence. Christ or Hitler? is a deeply moving exemplary account of an ordinary pastor of ordinary Germans, striving to be faithful to their Lord Christ Jesus during Germany’s darkest days.

In these days of political upheaval and totalitarian efforts to silence Bible- believing Christians, these episodic accounts are not only enlightening, but are also vital reminders of how each of us can bring hope to our disillusioned generation."
—Rev. Dr. Greg Livingstone, Buckinghamshire, England
