Welcome to the Eric Metaxa show.

They say it's a thin line between love and hate, but we're working every day to thicken that line,

or at least make it a double or triple line.

Now here's your line jumping host, Eric Mattaxas. Hey, it, folks. Welcome to the Eric Mattaxas show. I'm not here. Chris, I'm not here. It seems like you're here. Well, it seems like I'm here now, but when we air this, I will not be here. I will be away far, far away. I'm going to Ultima Thule. Do you know where that is? Because I don't, but the captain of the ship knows, and he's taking us to Ultimathul. Wow. Sounds like you made up that name. Is it a real place? I think it's mythical. Yeah. But anyway, no, but we thought we would pre-record a segment, which that's this segment right now because we people write us letters and things and I thought some of which we can share some of which we can share

so I wanted to read this one uh someone wrote uh well we've got a few here yeah that are kind of cool

and so I thought let me let me read them So this one says, this is from Torrey.

It's, well, it says, hello, Eric.

I read your biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer a few years back.

It may be one of the most impactful books I've read, and you are in serious company among

in my writings to Dostoevsky?

Sure.

But seriously, I read something like this and I just say, you know, because I joke around and I try to be light, but that really means a lot to me that somebody would read my Bonhoeffer book and put it in that's high cotton.

For context, this person writes, Tori writes, I was raised in a small town of mostly German Americans in Wisconsin,

and my high school managed to avoid studying World War II during history classes.

Now, that is interesting because the shame, it's why I wrote the Bonhofer book.

As a German, your shame for the Holocaust,

for what happened, you're trying to process that. And so in a sense, I wrote my book
