A story of redemption
Dying
to Live
Experiencing God’s redemptive power in the midst of tragedy.
Bryn’s story
Not a story in which pain has the final word.
This is a vulnerable account of tragedy, survival and the redeeming love of Jesus.
Bryn S. Elliott writes honestly about trauma, abuse, addiction, sexual violence and the murder of her sister, Abbe. Yet Dying to Live is ultimately not defined by what was lost. It bears witness to the presence of God within suffering and to a life being restored through intimacy with Jesus.
Told with courage and hope, the book makes room for grief without surrendering the conviction that redemption remains possible—even in the places that once seemed beyond repair.
In her own words
Bryn’s testimony.
Before continuing into the book, take a few moments to hear Bryn share the heart of her journey and the redemption she has experienced in Jesus.
Inside the book
One book. Two movements.
The story moves from honest testimony into an invitation: to know Jesus personally and discover that surrender is not the loss of life, but the way into life.
The Story
Bryn shares the experiences that shaped her life—the wounds, losses and choices that threatened to define her—and the grace that met her within them.
The Journey Forward
Personal testimony opens into practical wisdom for cultivating intimacy with Jesus, living surrendered and allowing His love to reshape the way we see ourselves and our story.
“A surrendered life might not always be easy, but it will always be worth it.”Dying to Live
