About The Book
Life is a series of crossroads, each decision shaping the path we walk. In his transformative book, Choices: The Sheep Gate, Brian Horst—disciple, ex-prisoner, and voice of wisdom born from experience—invites readers to reflect deeply on their life’s direction. Through vivid storytelling and profound biblical connections, Horst challenges readers to confront one of life’s most critical questions: Where are you in life? Are you on the path toward death, or are you on the walk of life? With this question as its cornerstone, the book leads readers on a journey to recognize their choices’ significance and responsibility.
Horst masterfully weaves his own experiences with scripture, offering fresh perspectives on familiar biblical narratives. He explores the ten plagues of Exodus as metaphors for the consequences of destructive choices, the ten gates in Nehemiah as symbols of opportunity and restoration, and the Ten Commandments as a moral compass guiding decisions. These layers reveal the intricate relationship between our environment and the decisions we make, illustrating how external influences shape our internal struggles. Through this lens, Choices becomes more than a book; it is a blueprint for understanding the spiritual and practical dimensions of decision-making.
At its heart, Choices: The Sheep Gate is an invitation to self-awareness and accountability. Horst doesn’t merely highlight the challenges of life’s crossroads—he equips readers with the tools to navigate them. Whether you are seeking spiritual clarity, recovering from past missteps, or striving to lead a purpose-driven life, this book offers wisdom that resonates on every level. As Horst so poignantly reminds us, to find the right path, we must first understand where we stand. The journey to transformation begins with a single choice, and Choices: The Sheep Gate serves as a faithful guide along the way.
