Dying To Live has four short chapters dealing with the relationship of Christ's death to the life of the Christian believer. The Christian who affirms "I have been crucified with Christ" has found the way that brings:
- Freedom from sin and self
- Transformation to his life, both internally and externally
- Total surrender to God
- Identification with Christ's death on the cross
The book speaks to the individual in a personal way of the ongoing implications of Christ's cross for the Christian and declares "It is God's plan that He must be allowed to work into the lives of His messengers the truth He entrusts them to give to others."
