I am looking for the quote by Bonhoeffer, "When Jesus calls a man, he bids him come and die." I have several Bonhoeffer books, but can't find it. Does anyone know what book it is in?

In the earlier English version of The Cost of Discipleship, Fuller translated this famous aphorism as: “When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.” The austere German text reads: “Jeder Ruf Christi führt in den Tod.” Literally, that says, “Every call of Christ leads into death.” [JG/GK]

Ans since the German edition of Kyle Idleman's "Not a Fan" includes a literal re-translation of the "extended" English quote back into German, you now find that new German version of the quote (which Bonhoeffer never wrote) all over the place.
