Classic

This book is quoted so many times by so many books that I thought I had read it \nBut I'm glad I did now. What a classic! Timeless, readable, and relevant (even after more than 70 years later).

A vital wake-up call on being a disciple of Christ

Bonhoeffer challenges the real meaning and cost of being a disciple and it remains as relevant today as in his time. With "cheap grace" being prevalent in the 21st century church, Bonhoeffer take us back to Christ's Sermon on the Mount and reminds us what it truly means to be a follower and disciple of Christ.\r\n\r\nAn engaging, challenging and e...Read More

Cheap Grace?

Bonhoeffer's classic master piece! Sure, not all can be accepted without question, but not much that Bonhoeffer writes is without biblical precedence. As disciples of Jesus Christ, do we live as though our calling cost much, or do we live as though the grace bestowed upon us is cheap? Hence, Cheap grace?\r\n\r\nNot an easy read at all. Which I sus...Read More

pect many who begin to read this volume will falter as they reach chapter 3. That said even those first three chapters are worth labouring over. On the teaching side; I found Bonhoeffer's leading into each chapter with a biblical passage quite helpful. I marked by bible with each page reference for easy referencing come the time to preach on such a passage. \r\n\r\nFor example, section 2; "The Sermon on the Mount" is broken into three subsections, Matt 5, 6 and 7 respectively. An each chapter of each subsection begins with a verse of the sermon on the mount. I then placed a note in my bible at Matt 5:1 - "Cost of discipleship - page 105". For future reference. Thus the book was very helpful in this manner. \r\n\r\n3.9oo5 Read Less
