The Cost of Discipleship is a book by German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, written in 1937.

 It is considered a classic of Christian thought and is centered on an exposition of the Sermon on the Mount, in which Bonhoeffer spells out what he believes it means to follow Christ.

In the book, Bonhoeffer contrasts "cheap grace" with "costly grace." Cheap grace, he argues, is the kind of grace that is offered freely but does not demand any change in the believer's life. Costly grace, on the other hand, is the kind of grace that demands a radical commitment to following Christ, even to the point of death.

Bonhoeffer argues that true discipleship is costly because it requires us to give up our own will and follow Christ's will.

 It requires us to love our enemies, to forgive those who have wronged us, and to take up our cross and follow Christ.

The Cost of Discipleship is a challenging but rewarding book. It is a call to radical discipleship, a call to take seriously the demands of following Christ.

 It is a book that will challenge you to think about what it means to be a Christian and what it means to follow Christ
