About this Item

Paperback. What does it mean to follow Jesus? Has the West's hyper-individuality co-opted the concept of discipleship? Come and Die asserts that in many Christian circles, the idea of salvation has been subtly reshaped into a pathway for achieving personal comfort, material success, and superficial desires, rather than the radical means of meeting mankind's deepest and most desperate need: reconciliation with God. This distortion has produced a shallow faith that promises prosperity but avoids the cross. In contrast, Come and Die embraces one of Scripture's most profound paradoxes: real life, true joy, and authentic flourishing are found only on the other side of death-dying to self, crucifying pride, surrendering autonomy, and taking up the call to follow Jesus wherever He leads. To follow Him is not to gain the world but to lose it, and in that loss discover the incomparable treasure of life with God. This item is printed on demand.

Synopsis

What does it mean to follow Jesus? Has the West's hyper-individuality co-opted the concept of discipleship? Come and Die asserts that in many Christian circles, the idea of salvation has been subtly reshaped into a pathway for achieving personal comfort, material success, and superficial desires, rather than the radical means of meeting mankind’s deepest and most desperate need: reconciliation with God. This distortion has produced a shallow faith that promises prosperity but avoids the cross. In contrast, Come and Die embraces one of Scripture’s most profound paradoxes: real life, true joy, and authentic flourishing are found only on the other side of death—dying to self, crucifying pride, surrendering autonomy, and taking up the call to follow Jesus wherever He leads. To follow Him is not to gain the world but to lose it, and in that loss discover the incomparable treasure of life with God.
