I finally acquired a copy of Cost Of Discipleship, Bonhoeffer's work on costly Grace. This was actually the concept that first attracted me to Bonhoeffer in the first place, and his ideas are as deep and penetrating as I had hoped. I have heard the church at large blindly criticized (haven't we all???)... Bonhoeffer's criticisms are delivered with a light, but extremely keen touch, thoroughly thought out.
