The Wrong Side of the Wall An American in East Berlin during the Peaceful Revolution
The Wrong Side of the Wall An American in East Berlin during the Peaceful Revolution Author:Mark Jantzen The immediacy of television news allowed the whole world to watch the unfolding of a major revolution in the autumn of 1989. Reporters struggled to explain the unfamiliar and unexpected - Monday night religious services in Leipzig and nonviolent demonstrations were causing the Marixist regime to tremble with fear. Finally whent their lack of m... more »oral legitimacy was evident to all, those rulers surrendered power to the people. In the middle of it all the Berlin Wall came down. Mark Jantzen was there to witness it all. In contrast to those jet-setting reporters, he was equipped to explain. In this book you meet his friends from the university in East Berlin, theology students and others who go through their own transformaion, stumbling to faith, recovering the wholeness of integrity after personally, and as a soceity, having lived the lie. When others reacted with fear, and sought protection from the missiles, Mark ventured to live in East Germany as a Christian seeking reconciliation and peace. Mark believed that "the community of the faithful are found on both sides of every wall" as James Will had already stated a few years earlier. Yet it turned out to be an adventure that may inspire the reader to cross other walls for the sake of the reconciling work of Christ.« less
