Note to Self: The Discipline of Preaching to Yourself

Written by Joe Thorn

Narrated by Kate Marcin

We need good preaching-preaching that challenges us by God's Word and brings the comfort that comes from God's promises. Yet many of us rely solely on others to preach to us and are not benefitting from the kind of preaching that should be most consistent and personal-preaching to ourselves. Note to Self is a practical introduction to this daily discipline. Pastor Joe Thorn delivers fifty brief, devotional chapters that model preaching the gospel to ourselves and its practical implications. Readers will be challenged by the book's direct, personal exhortations to apply the law and the gospel to their own lives.

Reviews for Note to Self

[cjsdg · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Excellent, challenging book. We used it for family worship, and found the short chapters to be just the right length for our family. The strength of the book comes in its direct address. Many devotional books give pious thoughts that everyone nods in agreement, but I've found few books that are as provocative and challenging. The book makes direct, forceful statements about the state of your mind and heart, and because they are rooted in Scripture, the arrows hit home. Don't despair; grace is in abundance, but it is deep grace that restores, not cheap grace that soothes hurt feelings. Great stuff, and we'll be buying and using book 2 as soon as it comes out.
