About

We live with our own thoughts 24/7—after all, we’re kind of stuck with them! But when we listen to our sinful thoughts instead of to the truth, they can carry us away into poor spiritual decisions all too easily.

Does this sound familiar? How can we start changing this? How can we start living lives that are influenced by gospel thinking moment by moment?

William Farley argues that, whether we are new or seasoned believers, we can solve many of the spiritual problems in our lives by preaching the gospel . . . to ourselves!

The story of the gospel is familiar to us, but we don’t always realize that its key moments—such as Jesus’ incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension—teach us lessons that we can apply to our lives every single day. In this user-friendly book, Farley shows us how to remind ourselves of the gospel truths that are hidden in plain sight.
