To Die Is to Live
A Son’s Journey Into the Fire of His Calling

This is not a polished testimony wrapped in a bow.
This is not a tidy sermon full of clichés and answers.
This is the raw, soul-baring journey of a man who was brought to the edge—and lived to tell the truth.

Evan Stone was a successful corporate engineer with the perfect life on paper. But behind the mask of achievement was a man unraveling. Addiction, betrayal, spiritual abuse, fatherhood under fire, divorce, and suicidal thoughts had taken him to the brink. To Die Is to Live is Evan’s powerful memoir—a story of hitting bottom and discovering that rock bottom was not the end, but the altar.

What begins as a descent into darkness becomes a spiritual awakening. Through gut-wrenching honesty, prophetic dreams, encounters with God, and moments of painful self-confrontation, Evan invites you into his transformation. This is not a story of how to be better—it's a story of how to die to the life you built on lies and be reborn into the life God intended.

You will not walk away from this book unmoved.

Written for the broken, the overlooked, and the ones quietly wondering if there’s more to faith than religion has offered them—To Die Is to Live is a lifeline. A book for those who are tired of performing, exhausted from pretending, and ready to encounter the God who meets us not in perfection, but in our most shattered places.

If you've ever been blamed for someone else's brokenness...
If you're done playing church but still desperate for God...
If you're ready to trade shame for sonship, addiction for authenticity, and pain for purpose...

Then this book is for you.

This isn't where the story ends—
This is where the real journey begins.
To die is to live.
