644395: Hitler, God, and the Bible - unabridged audio book on MP3-CD Hitler, God, and the Bible - unabridged audio book on MP3-CD
By Ray Comfort / Audible Studios on Brilliance Audio

In Hitler, God, and the Bible, international evangelist and author Ray Comfort exposes Adolf Hitler's theology and abuse of religion as a means to seize political power and ultimately instigate WWII and genocide. This fascinating study mines the depths of Hitler's beliefs and convincingly argues that without Hitler's misuse of Christianity the Third Reich would have had its legendary rise, resulting in the deaths of more than six million Jews. Highlighting Hitler's youth, his influences, and his path to seducing a nation, Hitler, God, and the Bible is a fresh, stinging reminder of the power of the cross and how its misuse let to the Final Solution.
