Book Review: Die Young by Hayley & Michael DiMarco

When I first agreed to review Die Young by Hayley & Michael DiMarco from Crossway, I thought it was a book about death. In a sence it is a book about death, but not the physical death that the entire human race is cursed with as a result of the Fall. The death we are talking about is the death of self.

When Jesus said, "Take up your cross and follow me daily" (Luke 9:23), He is referring to crucify anything that does not yield to God. The DiMarcos write, God wants you to die young. He wants you to take up your cross and follow him. He wants you to deny yourself, to say "no" to promptings of your flesh and of this world and "yes" to the promptings of His Spirit.

This was an easy to read book. In fact, I feel this is a good book for new believers because it is a book that calls you to die and not make it self-centered which some new believer material can get at times.

Thanks Crossway for letting me review this book.
