Anyone disenchanted with institutionalized religion and desperate for something real will welcome this subversive book's call to abandon performative faith and rediscover the radical way of Jesus.
This isn't another feel-good Christian book-it's an unfiltered, unapologetic guide to dying to yourself.
Blending storytelling, raw liturgy, and counter-cultural faith, Joshua Porter rips through the safe, sanitized versions of Christianity and reclaims the gritty, disruptive truth of the gospel. How to Die weaves together biblical narrative, ancient creeds, and personal story in a way that dares us to reconsider what it means to follow Jesus.
This book isn't here to affirm what you already know. It's here to wreck your assumptions, shake your faith, and challenge you to follow Jesus beyond disillusionment and into authentic discipleship.
