Are the Stories of Our Culture Shaping Your Life?

We’re told stories every day: stories of identity, stories of self-fulfillment, stories of a dystopian future. Our culture tells us stories that influence our outlook, hopes, and even our relationships. These cultural narratives are everywhere. They’re the stories we live by and they tell you that it’s you who determines what will make you happy.

“Everyday expressions like ‘Follow your heart’ and ‘You do you’ are not throwaway phrases; they are powerful mini-stories of our modern culture that subconsciously inform our choices and actions.”

But in contrast to the stories culture tells us, the story of the gospel is the ultimate story to which all other stories of love, hope, joy and fulfillment point.

In a brand new book, The Stories We Live By, written by Tim Keller and his son Michael Keller, you’ll discover what our stories promise and whether they actually deliver. It will help you to examine the stories our culture tells us and to see them through the lens of the gospel story—the story where every Christian can find deep hope, true meaning and lasting joy. 

When you give to Gospel in Life in September, we’ll send you The Stories We Live By as thanks for your gift ahead of the September 22nd release date to share the ultimate story to which all other stories point. Because the story of the gospel truly changes everything.

Thank you for your generosity, prayers and the ways you’re sharing the gospel with others!
