DESCRIPTION

The end of life as you know it...is the beginning of life as you need it...

You had such expectations. Such hopes. Such plans. But life isn't working out the way you thought it would. Jesus answers the void with abundant life. But to get it, you have to die - die to self and the quick fixes of this world.

Abundant life can be yours. But in order to live, you first have to die (Matthew 16:25). The fact is, if you have nothing worth dying for, you have nothing worth living for. You may never have to make the ultimate sacrifice, but you are called to daily give up something of this earthly existence to pursue the amazing life Jesus promises to His followers. In To Die For, Ryan Dobson shatters common misconceptions about dying to self, spelling out the realities of the deadly spiritual battle each of us faces. He provides clear guidelines for making life-and-death choices daily and deals with how to overcome the emotional struggles that accompany both failure and success.

DON'T SETTLE FOR AVERAGE. GET A LIFE...IT'S TO DIE FOR.
