Faith under Shellfire Viktor Kiefer

Pastor Kiefer's faith is tested, not just in ordinary life and church work, but in war with shellfire robbing the body and soul of rest. His theological ideals turn into living action as he continues to care for his parishioners and stands firm in the face of evil. Being the only able-bodied man in town, who is not part of the Nazi party, the priest becomes a help and refuge for many. Without tooting his own horn, Father Kiefer's journal gives a glimpse of what it means to actively love your neighbor, do the best you can in any given situation and continue to do the daily work of a pastor.
