"When Christ calls a person, he bids that one to come and die." These words were written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a well-known Lutheran pastor and theologian, in a book influential to many, The Cost of Discipleship, first published in 1937. Bonhoeffer lived his Christian call to holiness without counting the cost. He did what God asked of him and he did it without qualification, reservation, or question. He did not look over his shoulder and wonder why, rather he lived what he wrote. Discipleship, if lived fully, would cost him his life.
