What if the stories shaping your beliefs aren't your own—and you never even noticed them?

Tim Keller once said, "You are the stories that you believe." In Stories We Live By, Michael Keller—son of the late Tim Keller—reveals the seven hidden cultural narratives quietly steering how we think: identity, power, freedom, morality, truth, happiness, and progress. Like fish unaware of the water they swim in, we absorb these stories without question, and even devout Christians find their faith reshaped by secular assumptions they never chose.
Drawing on research collected with his father, Michael shows what we can appreciate in each narrative and what we must reject. Only then can we see how Christianity offers a fuller, truer story—one that answers our deepest longings.

Which story has been shaping your life without you realizing it? Explore Stories We Live By today.
