In his new book, Dying to Live , Clive Calver offers a powerful corrective to the human soul that injects hope and peace into a world in chaos that is looking for something real. Calver gives some wonderful insight into what it means to "re-start" a stale Christianity in favor of a walk with God that is marked by true power and abundant life. But Calver's proposed stimulus isn't found in a surface Christianity filled with the excesses of legalism and emotionalism. Instead, he sets forth the idea that true life, true power, and true stimulus can only be achieved through death.
Dying to Live is in the same vein as the great writings of Francis Schaeffer, who often wrote about "the centrality of death" in the Christian life. Calver writes that, in his own experience, "It was becoming clear that Jesus' death on the cross had achieved two things: It showed me the way to live and it showed me the way to die." Death for the believer means transformation through the work of Jesus and not "self-improvements in my old life."
