@Levi Mayo A link to the Audiobook would help for others to understand what product this is about.

This book is in Logos twice: as volume 4 of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Works and as a stand-alone Reader's Edition. Other than the audio book, they both have the shorter title "Discipleship"
Have joy in the Lord!

I am talking about having this book as a resource and not just an audiobook.

Levi, this book (in German titled "Nachfolge") has been published in English sometimes under the title "discipleship" and sometimes under the title "The Cost of Discipleship". It's the exact same book - possibly even the same translation - just with another title. There are no two different books about discipleship by Bonhoeffer, there is only one and this is it.
Have joy in the Lord!

@NB.Mick Actually, there are two different books. The Cost of Discipleship is all a commentary on the Book of Matthew and how Bonhoeffer views Matthew as a way to show what discipleship is and what the cost of it is. Discipleship as the book is Bonhoeffer's entire writing on the issue of discipleship and is part of a set of different books.
This is the book you are talking about.
This is the book I want in an electronic and reading format.

@Levi Mayo : I still am curious why you would think there are two books. The audio book in Logos even says on its product page that the text edition would be vol. 4 of DBW!
I was tempted to buy the audio just to make sure, but on German Amazon I found the same audio book with a sample audio, which contained the front matter. This states that Paul Michael is reading the 1959 MacMillan edition, copyrighted by SCM Press. This edition can be found as PDF on the web (yes, the audio sample reads this word for word), and the full front matter in the PDF explicitly states that it is a translation of Bonhoeffers 1937 work "Nachfolge", published by Chr. Kaiser, Munich.
The Logos edition of DBW4 "Discipleship" (which by the way is the identical text as the "Discipleship Reader's Edition" in Logos) has the following front matter:

I apologize. I did not realize both were the same book. I thought it was a different book than "The Cost of Discipleship." I apologize and thank you for correcting my error.
