"Like every believer I know, my search for
real life has led me through at least three distinct seasons of faith,
not once or twice but over and over again. Jesus called them finding
life, losing life, and finding life again, with the paradoxical promise
that finders will be losers while those who lose their lives for his
sake will wind up finding them again...You do not have to die to in
order to discover the truth of this teaching...You only need to lose
track of who you are or who you thought you were supposed to be, so that
you end up lying flat on the dirt floor basement of your heart. Do
this, Jesus says, and you will live."
