Rev. J. Scott Gardiner
Sanctification isn't about becoming a better version of yourself — it's about becoming less, so that Christ can be seen more. 13 Weeks to a Deader You walks readers through 91 daily readings, seven days a week for thirteen weeks, tracing what it actually means to take up a cross and lay down a self.
The self-help shelf says self can fix self. This book begins somewhere else: Scripture does not say the old man needs better coaching. It calls the old man to the Cross. Across 91 days, one question keeps returning — what in me must die so Christ can be seen more clearly?
The structure is designed to be walked again — and again. Thirteen weeks is one quarter of a year, and the same pattern can look different on a second or third pass, because dying to self was never meant to be a one-time event.
How It's Built
Each week confronts one recurring pattern of the old self — seven days, one angle per day, pressing the same conviction until it becomes harder to excuse, harder to hide, and harder to keep alive.
Every day closes with prayer and a burial notice — a specific, named thing brought to the Cross that day. Each week ends with reflection, a declaration, and one question: what still needs to die?
Thirteen weeks is a season, not a finish line. The devotional is designed to be walked four times a year, going deeper into death to self with every pass.
Today's Funeral
“Today I bury… my need to find someone worse than me so I can feel better about myself.”
One of 91 daily burial notices
The Journey
Thirteen recurring patterns of the old self — one each week, and finally the self that was carrying all of them.

This is a serious study product, meant to lie open beside your Bible while you write. The author intentionally chose a coil-bound, lay-flat format designed for study instead of a standard glued workbook that fights to close. That binding is printed and shipped directly by Lulu and isn't offered through Amazon.
The complete devotional in audio, roughly 7 hours — for the commute, the walk, or the quiet of early morning. Each day still closes with prayer and a burial notice.
