The Secret Life of Christians: How to Live Authentically, Especially When No One Is Watching

Readers seeking a simpler, more authentic spirituality will find an empathetic guide in Coyne. –Publishers Weekly

Do you feel empty? Unfulfilled? Exhausted and disoriented?

Imagine instead a life securely resting in God, centered on him. Imagine a life where your longings and desires are met by the Eternal One.

Too many people are publicly busy but privately starving. The Secret Life of Christians is a call back to the hidden place―where real transformation happens and the fulfillment of our spiritual hunger that only a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ can bring. This book exposes the danger of performing faith while neglecting intimacy with Jesus. Through biblical truth, stories of true revival, and ancient pathways of prayer, the book guides readers into a deep, daily encounter with God that no platform or performance can replace. If you’re hungry for a faith that’s real even when no one’s watching, this is your invitation.

Jacob Coyne knows this struggle personally. He’s built an audience of over 2.6 million followers, but all that attention wasn’t enough to satisfy his soul. He’s learned that the goal isn’t for us to receive more blessings–it’s to receive Jesus. Friendship with God and authentic spiritual growth are found in the secret place.

• to discover how to build a robust, secret prayer life
• to cultivate closeness with God through life-giving spiritual disciplines
• to explore Christian spiritual practices, such as observing the Sabbath, practicing lectio divina and fixed hours of prayer
