Bonhoeffer

Just noticed that on Monday, February 6 at 10 pm, PBS will air a program about Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The life and writings of this German theologian captivate me. His book, The Cost of Discipleship, has given Christianity important understanding of grace as revealed in his thoughts about cheap and costly grace. His life as a martyr in Germany during World War II is inspirational. Recently, one of our Sunday morning short studies was The Cost of Discipleship. I am so pleased that these folks were willing to undertake what most people find to be an arduous task. Their Christian education has been enhanced by doing so.
