The man who defeated Adolf Hitler

Many of you have heard Glenn tout the book "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy" by Eric Metaxas.  In fact, probably most of you have heard Glenn tout the book.  It's practically all he does.  Glenn can be talking about any topic, say problems along the Mexican border, and quickly segue into how it reminds him of something in the Metaxas book.  I will not be surprised if Glenn is working on a full-color version of the book for children.  Well, it is a great book, and Eric is a great guy (I spent several hours with him in Pittsburgh recently) and today he has an essay posted at FoxNews.com on a timely topic:

This week, billions of Christians around the world will celebrate Easter. But today is a special day too.

Today -- April 20th -- is Hitler's birthday! Have you forgotten? The Fuehrer would have been 122 years young today! Aren't you celebrating? As I explain in my book "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy," during Hitler's 12-year reign, people across Germany twisted themselves into veritable pretzels to praise the Fuhrer on his birthday! It was a day of national celebration.

How things change! Today Hitler's name is synonymous with evil. What a spectacular reversal of fortune.

You will want to read the rest right here.

Bonus: Tonight at 9pm ET Eric will be part of the History Channel's program "Jesus: The Lost 40 Days."
