Die Young: Burying Your Self in Christ by Hayley and Michael DiMarco is a new book out by Crossway. The theme for the book is a necessary call in our narcissistic age.
Our society is constantly pursuing all of the personal trappings of life, but seems to be missing life as it was designed for us. The DiMarcos call readers to forego a pursuit that is bound to leave one at loss. Instead they say that the gospel flips this pursuit on its head.
Instead of seeking this kind of life, we should seek to die. Die that we might live.
So death is the new life for those who have been buried in Christ, who have given up the right to themselves and thrown themselves headlong into the arms of the Father; for you who know the truth that “you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Col. 3:3).
