A Contemporary View of Bonhoeffer's The Cost of Discipleship.

In 1937, on the threshold of Nazi Germany's war on the world, Dietrich bonhoeffer wrote what turned out to be one of the most influential books of the century, The Cost of Discipleship.  In it, he challenged the flabby faith and compromises of German Christians, famously writing, "When Christ calls a man he bids him come and die."

Now, seventy-three years after the book was first published, Jon Walker brings to a new generation and a different social environment the timeless teachings of Jesus that stirred Bonhoeffer to address the "cheap grace" of his time.

Grace is a foundational doctrine for Christians, yet one of the most misunderstood.  In a fresh engagement with this Christian classic, Walker explains what Bonhoeffer meant when he taught that grace is free but will cost us everything.

Focused around a study of the Sermon on the Mount, "Costly Grace" is an excellent resource for small groups and congregation-wide study.
