The Cost of Discipleship for Teens - Understanding Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Guide to What It Really Means to Follow Jesus When Faith Is Hard and Costly #944104

What does it really mean to follow Jesus when faith is not easy, popular, or comfortable?
For many teens, Christianity can feel reduced to beliefs, routines, or inspirational words that rarely connect to real life. Yet Jesus never called people to a safe or convenient faith. He called them to follow Him fully, even when it costs something. The Cost of Discipleship for Teens invites readers to move beyond surface level belief and discover what it truly means to live as a disciple in today’s world.

This book speaks honestly to the challenges teens face as they grow in faith. Pressure to fit in, fear of rejection, confusion about identity, uncertainty about the future, and the struggle to stay faithful when life gets hard. Rather than offering quick answers or shallow encouragement, this guide walks step by step through the deeper call of discipleship. It explores why obedience can feel costly, how faith reshapes relationships, what it means to live differently in a distracted culture, and how following Jesus transforms the heart from the inside out.

Drawing from the teachings of Jesus, especially His call to take up the cross, this book challenges the idea of comfortable faith and replaces it with a vision of faith that is honest, resilient, and life giving. Readers will be encouraged to wrestle with real questions, reflect on everyday choices, and discover how surrender leads not to loss, but to freedom.

Written in a clear, relatable, and thoughtful style, The Cost of Discipleship for Teens helps young readers understand that faith is not just something they believe, but something they live. It shows how commitment, integrity, perseverance, and trust shape a life of purpose and hope. Most importantly, it reveals why the cost of following Jesus is never the end of the story, but the beginning of true life.

This book is ideal for teens seeking a deeper faith, youth groups, Bible study discussions, and parents or mentors who want to guide young believers toward a faith that lasts. Following Jesus may cost you something, but this book helps you see why the life it leads to is worth everything.
