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.

Evan Stone is a writer, speaker, and spiritual survivor who has walked through addiction, suicidal despair, narcissistic abuse, divorce, financial ruin, and the fire of personal failure-only to discover that rock bottom was the beginning of redemption.

From the collapse of his marriage to the miraculous moments of divine encounter, Evan's journey is steeped in the mercy of a God who meets us in our mess.His writing is brutally honest and vulnerably human, yet anchored in deep Christian truth. Through journal entries, prophetic dreams, and reflections from his spiritual wilderness, To Die Is To Live speaks to those who have felt discarded by religion, disoriented by pain, or unsure if they're too far gone to be found. Evan doesn't claim to have answers-but he has been found by the One who is the Answer.When he's not writing or recording his podcast, Evan leads with quiet strength in his community, shares his testimony with those seeking truth, and builds faith-based resources for the remnant-those rising from ashes, not by might, but by grace. He lives in Colorado with his children and the woman God placed in his life when he finally laid his own down.
