Find freedom from self-absorption by lifting your gaze: rediscover life's purpose, joy, and connection through faith, love, and living outside yourself - rooted in Christ, not the shifting ground of individualism.
Amid a culture that insists meaning is found within, this book calls you to a new direction. Drawing from the rich tradition of Lutheran doctrine and weaving in present-day struggles with identity, expressive individualism, and restlessness, author Joshua Pfeiffer points to a way of living shaped by faith and love, not self-centered searching.
As you move through these pages, expect practical and honest reflection on how to live outside yourself - starting with lifting your eyes up to God in faith, out to others in love, and forward in hope. Stories and examples meet you where you are, whether overwhelmed by busyness, weighed down by guilt, or simply tired of navel-gazing. Discover how the rhythms of ancient faith practices, purposeful relationships, and regular self-examination can reshape daily reality to something much more life-giving.
Lift Your Eyes is an ideal read for readers who are:
- Concerned about cultural trends affecting faith
- Seeking practical guidance for Christian living in a secular age
- Interested in counter-culture community and authentic church life, or
- Wrestling with questions about self-examination, identity, and purpose within a Christian framework.
With biblical clarity and grounded wisdom, learn why striving for self-discovery can be exhausting - and how grace alone brings true freedom. For readers drawn to Christian living that is thoughtful, theologically robust, and deeply practical, Lift Your Eyes is a feast that leaves you equipped to serve, hope, and thrive in today's restless world.
