What if the death you're avoiding is the one that leads to life? The award-winning author of Everything Is Never Enough reveals how Jesus's most radical command--die to yourself--is the surprising path through disappointment, suffering, and spiritual stagnation to lasting joy.

We all experience disappointment. Dreams go unrealized. Prayers seem unanswered. The life we envisioned doesn't materialize. We also face suffering that opens the door to doubt--loss, betrayal, chronic pain that makes us question God's goodness. And many of us experience seasons of spiritual stagnation where our faith feels lifeless and we go through the motions without joy or growth.

Bobby Jamieson addresses all three of these universal Christian struggles through Jesus's most radical, most neglected command: die to yourself. God may not give you the life you want, Jamieson writes, but he will give you the death you need.

Through theological depth married with pastoral warmth, Jamieson shows how self-denial--not as self-hatred but as the biblical path to joy--enables believers to:

  • Trust God through disappointments: Dying to self frees us from demanding our way and opens us to receive what God gives as gift
  • Endure suffering that strengthens rather than harms: Self-denial transforms suffering from something that threatens to destroy our faith into something that deepens it
  • Break through spiritual stagnation: Dying to self revitalizes a stale faith by redirecting our focus from self-centered spirituality to Christ-centered discipleship
