The world is a dangerous place for Christians. All the more so for those who spearhead the gospel into spiritual strongholds where Satan has exerted his control, almost unchallenged, for centuries. As the name of Christ advances, there will always be fierce demonic backlash. How then, should we, the Church, respond to such hostility? Do we fearfully shrink back, or do we boldly proceed? Truly, our response is defined by how deeply we treasure the pearl (Matt. 13:45-46). I appreciate the way Unto Death repeatedly returns us to Christ, and encourages us not only to count the cost, but to joyfully pay it.

In a day when many best-selling Christian books focus on living in such a way as to get the most out of this life, Dalton Thomas skillfully articulates the Biblical mentality needed to live fully for the age which is yet to come. Unto Death challenges, convicts and comforts all who would willingly embrace Paul’s words, “to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

Dalton Thomas has issued a vital apostolic call—the call to follow in the steps of the Master, even to death. I was deeply challenged as I read Dalton’s manuscript, and could only ask the Father to prepare my own heart for such an obedience, for we live in momentous times when this will surely be required of all those who love the Lord Jesus with undying love.

Unto Death is a trumpet call to believers everywhere to lay down our lives—even potentially literally, for the high honor of making Jesus famous in all the Earth! Joy and soberness mark this book on martyrdom as Dalton portrays both the theology and practice of following Jesus in total abandonment. Teachings like this one must be embraced if we desire to see the powers of darkness vanquished and the glorious bride enter into her finest hour at the end of the age. Surely nothing is impossible for a generation that believes and walks this message out.

Written with extraordinary Biblical clarity, and drawing from a great “cloud of witnesses” spanning Church history, Dalton Thomas’ Unto Death is a tour de force on the subject of martyrdom, suffering, and the glory of God. It is a clarion blast to the saints in these last days; a rare word that must be imbibed, not merely read.

Jesus told us—in no uncertain terms—that unless we are willing to sacrifice everything, including our own lives, for the sake of the Gospel, we cannot be His disciples (Luke 14:26). As the majority of the Church today preaches an utter perversion of the true Gospel, Unto Death is one of the most important, timely and prophetic books of this generation. If you genuinely desire to be a disciple of Jesus and gain a deeper understanding of the undiluted Gospel message as it was proclaimed by the early Church, then you absolutely must read this book.
Joel Richardson
Author of Islamic Antichrist
Unto Death is a bold reminder that the call to follow Jesus is no less radical today than it was 2,000 years ago when Jesus charged His first disciples to “deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Me.” Yet many who would follow Jesus today have misunderstood this to be the goal of the Christian life – that somehow, some day, one might grow to the point where they would be willing to die for Him. But strikingly, Jesus declares “death to self” to be the starting point, the beginning of the Christian life. This life which we long to adventurously and courageously live right now is not possible until all allegiances to the world are renounced, and our own death embraced. What a bold and stirring word! Unto Death is written with the clarity and conviction that can only from one who is living its message fully. This is a must-read.

Dalton’s thorough research, articulate message and prophetic insight define the pages of this book as a clear trumpet call to a generation willing to surrender their lives to follow Jesus—even if it be “unto death.” May this timely message go forth with speed and unction!
