Dying to Live

Why are God’s blessings not enough?

Women who love Jesus often struggle with the endless pursuit of things they think will make them happy. Power, possessions, pleasure, Prosecco, Pilates. You get the gist. Margaret Jen Burke noticed that her life was becoming too entangled and that she was losing touch with the Creator. Dying to Live tells her story and helps women better prepare for what matters in eternity.

She will make you laugh, speak to your reality, and challenge your faith so you are brave enough to seek and (re)find a relationship with Jesus so intimate, intense, and soul quenching that it shifts your permanent perspective from earthly to eternal. fully enjoy God’s wild and wonderful blessings, regardless of your original expectations. grow out of a comfortable, one-dimensional life so you can posture yourself well for his return. run your race (without the fear of being asked if your leggings are from Lululemon). As followers of Jesus, it’s our job to prepare for his return carefully and completely. It’s our purpose here and truly the only thing that matters this side of eternity.
