To Live 4 : Why Did You Think You Were Here?

Life: Don’t just live it, seize it!

Drive it! Push it to the max! For what’s a life that’s merely there? Ryan Dobson, building off the call to die to self, the foundation he set in To Die For, expands now on the thrill of uncovering the reason for your life and living fully for God. This book explores the many dimensions of a life that’s sold-out for Jesus. It’s one that involves laying down your pride, increasingly trusting God to have His way with you. It involves motion—constant and purposeful progress, courageous risk taking, always loving, and forever giving, giving, giving. Because once you’re committed to serving God twenty-four seven, no questions asked, the next step is a nonstop, breath-taking adventure: living for Him…every time, ALL the time!

You gave up your life for the sake of Christ, but you can’t just stop there. Now it’s time to really come alive. Try an honest,

raw and real, deeper, more passionate pursuit of Jesus Christ.

Building on the call to die to self in To Die For, Ryan Dobson explores now what’s truly worth living for. Discover the reason you’re here and begin taking the kind of risks that continually propel you toward a deeper, more meaningful existence. It’s an irresistible life marked by pure, unencumbered passion.
