This is a very encouraging book.
Wilhelm Busch was a Lutheran pastor who worked, mostly among young people, in the town of Essen in Germany. His life spans both World Wars (two wrongs don’t make a Reich?). Coming from a Christian home, he was truly converted during the first conflict in a ditch near Verdun having just told a dirty joke to his friend, who didn’t laugh – which was when Busch realised his friend had been killed. This brought him face to face with eternity and with the Saviour.
