The Financial Sacrifice of Following Jesus: Dietrich Bonhoeffer's 1906-1945 Perspective

Pat Nosko: Bonhoeffer was a theologian for all times. He demonstrates that a relationship with God is inextricably tied into our relationship with one another. "The Cost of Discipleship " is worth reading ... again and again and again. And when you finally finish, you'll probably read it again.

Amazon Customer: This is by far the best version/translation of the material (a must have). However, the paper quality is below standard as it will brown and become brittle very quickly (even when not in humid conditions).

DaveWms: The author did a Great job with this book. He tells us what complacency does to the church when we are not speaking out about the politics of our day. What a difference the church and it's pastors could have made in our culture. The lack of speaking into the culture costs us everything.

Roxana: If you want a richer understanding of the Scriptures, this book is for you! My favorite section is when he talks about “Cheap grace"... We are fighting today for costly grace” “Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, communion without confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate...The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works... it is easy to see how people could come to believe that nothing was expected of them as Christians" I love the entire book, and you will probably be reading it multiple times like I did. Great gift for the serious Christian wanting to grow in their faith.

Akimetal: Fortunately, I could finally finished reading this book, which is called one of the most important theological books of the 20c, and a modern theological classic. It required approximately two months for me to finish because of my English ability and theological knowledge, but needless to say it was worth the time and cost to examine.

Even in the terrible oppression under the Nazi German government, Dietrich Bonhoeffer did not give up his faith with no fear of being killed. He is apprised as an “Apostle of the modern era” and a “defender of Western civilization”. Through this book, I had been kept seeking his core theological source of conviction which enabled him to keep his faith so resiliently: Unfortunately, the conviction lead him to his death of the young age 39. From this book, I could successfully recognize Bonhoeffer’s rigid ideological foundation that made it possible for him to be killed by a capital death of hanging, as a martyr. I found that he thought it is not only the Christian’s right but duty to protest the government which is against God’s law, righteousness or providence.

Needless to say, on the premise that he was a Lutheran pastor,...
