Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian during the time of Hitler, wrote The Cost of Discipleship, a wildly influential book on the cost of grace and discipleship and how important that is in our walk with Christ. In Costly Grace, Jon Walker retells this Christian classic for a contemporary audience.
“Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession,” says Bonhoeffer. “Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.”
