Gazing at God

A 40-Day Journey to Greater Freedom from Self

About this book

Take a grace-filled journey toward freedom from self-focus

· identify the wounds, assumptions, and scripts that keep you focused on self
· learn to recognize your true self
· break the bondage of self-focus to freely focus on God

We are never more fragile than when we make ourselves the center of our story, because we will never live up to the expectations others have for us, to say nothing of the expectations we have for ourselves. But the answer to our problem is not as simple as shifting our focus. Finding freedom in self-forgetfulness is a sacred journey, and this book is your guide.

In Gazing at God, Sharon Hodde Miller leads you through a step-by-step process of turning away from self and toward God and others. During this 40-day journey, you will

· identify the wounds, assumptions, and scripts that keep you focused on self
· learn to recognize your true self
· break the bondage of self-focus to freely focus on God

If you long for a life where you are not preoccupied by self-improvement and wondering how you measure up, let this devotional show you a better way forward.
