Brian Barcelona Emphasizes that True Living is Dying to Your Past

LAKE MARY, FL —Brian Barcelona addresses the core issue negatively affecting our society: We are living as deconstructionists instead of disciples of Christ.

In his book, Legends Die Young, Brian Barcelona highlights the truthful accounts of historical and modern martyrs. These Godfearing men and women exemplify what it means to die to self and live in Christ (ISBN-13: 978-1-63641-410-2).

“There cannot be a coexistence of your life and your faith. One must die and one must live,” Barcelona said.

Legends Die Young paints a poignant picture of how many modern-day believers choose to cower away from their calling, falling victim to the mainstream culture of our times. According to our mission, instead of going with the flow, we must go against it. We are the counterculture of a me-centric society. Fear cripples, but faith emboldens!

“No martyr ever went to die who hadn’t already died to themselves years before they physically died,” Barcelona said.

To make the message clear, Legends Die Young is not supporting suicide. Quite the opposite! To gain eternal life, we must choose to die to our old selves – as Christ died for us – but that does not mean a physical death. Instead, we are denying our old ways and carrying our crosses. If we do not die to our old selves today, then our faith will die instead.

“If young people falling away and deconstructing were a sickness, then I believe the chapters in this book would be the medicine,” Barcelona stated.

Whether your faith is at its crest or at its trough, Legends Die Young will help you to strengthen and/or keep your relationship with God strong as well as convey the compelling stories of real-life martyrs. Martyrs aren’t myths. They are real people with real hearts, real emotions, real pains, and real ways that they died to themselves so their faith would be made alive.
