About this title

Synopsis

In the opening to Live Or Die, a study in Philippians, JL Gerhardt writes, "I am tired of living little, every day on this never-docking cruise ship a charade. I am sick of stillness and conformity, of making a goal of not rocking the boat. I am ready to tip it over. I am ready to wake up to an apocalypse..."

At least, she wants to be ready. Or she wants to want to be ready...

In Live or Die, Gerhardt, eager for bigger, more meaningful living (more courage, less fear, more satisfaction, less disappointment, more improvement, less falling down), tags along with the apostle Paul as he explores what it means to surrender our lives to Christ and discover the adventure of partnership in holy transformation. Also, less glamorous, in suffering.

Practical and pushy, thoughtful and compassionate, if Francis Chan and Shauna Niequist had a Bible study baby, Live or Die would be it.

Spread out over 11 sessions, this thoughtful study includes assigned readings from the text, a daily focus, reflection questions, definitions of difficult terminology and prescriptive prayer, all accompanied by personal, reflective essays on the big ideas in the book—ideas that, applied to our lives, will dramatically shape who we are and who we want to be.
