Welcome to my blog. I mostly write about Christian Living, but I enjoy the Kentucky Wildcats, New Orleans Saints, and a good cup of coffee.

Could it be!? One of my favorite authors has released an Advent book! Jared C. Wilson writes in a way that resonates with me. I love the season of Advent. It literally changed my life and made my Christmases so much more focused and intentional. To get to celebrate Advent with Jared C. is more than I could have asked for!
I think Jared C. Wilson is one of the best Christian writers of my time. The dude never seems to run out of book ideas and I’ve found all of them to be engaging and helpful. I mean, he’s the author in residence of Midwestern Seminary if that tells you anything! He not only cranks out books, but also writes a plethora of articles and podcasts. His newest book, Gospel Driven Ministry, is no exception when it comes to quality.
I’m unsure where to start in writing this review. Do I start with the title, the author, or maybe a humorous story about how this book was the number one seller in Demonology and Satanism on Amazon? To be honest, when I first saw the title and subtitle of this book, I thought it was one I really didn’t need to read and should pass by. However, The Gospel According to Satan: Eight Lies About God That Sound Like the Truth by Jared C. Wilson is a book you need to read whether these eight lies sound familiar or not.
To call something “gospel-driven” or “gospel-centered” is trendy these days. Tacking the word gospel onto something has become so common that it has almost lost its meaning. Ask any church member what the word gospel means and I can bet the answers you receive would be far and wide. That’s why we must ask if Jared Wilson’s new book, The Gospel-Driven Church provides clarity in murky water or is it just contributing to the confusion of gospel hype?
