"He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name." -Psalm 147:4
No man really picks himself up by his own bootstraps. People like to describe their life journey in ways that make them look good, but in reality, there are always others who help them up. Memoirs from wartime written by soldiers are fun to read, but they often dwell only on physical combat. Spiritual combat can be harder because it may require admitting powerlessness. It may also require dealing with personal sins, and the most destructive sins are those that tear apart relationships. We all struggle with sin but may not want anyone to know for fear that people will judge us. This is how the Devil isolates us in our sin, and no man is more helpless than a man all by himself. Yet the Bible says that there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother who is a helper of the helpless.
In this memoir, Wes does not hide anything in his story of overcoming personal loss, and therefore his story is more believable than others. He does not hide his failures, nor does he hide the source of his success. He talks about personal loss, addiction, and how God helped him over and over again in the middle of despair. In this book, Wes outlines the strategies he used to overcome a 20-year addiction to pornography with the help of the Lord through a ministry called Celebrate Recovery.
There is one analogy he uses that may sound like a discussion of astrology: he talks about stars. But on closer examination, he is really talking about circumstances that may or may not be in our control. We all have different circumstances that were handed down to us, and we cannot always change them. But we can change how we respond to these circumstances and we can change our outlook. Part of this outlook involves forgiveness. Without forgiveness of the past, we cannot move on from our failures. Then we must change our priorities and set goals that are not only honorable but also achievable.
I have only known Wes for two years, but in those two years I have noticed his bravery. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, he is helping others. Instead of becoming bitter, he is showing others what real faith is. This faith may seem unshakeable, but it is rooted in the creator of all things. Wes makes no bones about the fact that he is a Christian, and this book is a valuable resource for anyone looking for help in dealing with struggles that seem beyond their control.

A powerful, honest, and deeply practical guide to true spiritual transformation.
The Blueprint of Becoming stands out because it doesn’t just inspire it equips. Wesley Farnsworth blends raw personal testimony with Scripture in a way that feels authentic, relatable, and full of hope. Every chapter offers clarity, direction, and a sense of God’s nearness in the process of change.
The structure is thoughtful: real stories, reflection questions, and practical steps that actually help readers identify what’s holding them back and step into the future God designed for them. It’s both pastoral and actionable a combination that’s rare.
The companion resources are a major strength. The 10-week guides make this book ideal for small groups, recovery ministries, and church studies. They turn the message into a shared journey, not just a solo read.
A heartfelt, grounding, and genuinely transformative book. It carries both grace and challenge in all the right ways. Highly recommended for anyone ready to move from surviving to becoming.

November 14, 2025We’ve all heard the phrase: You can’t change your stars. Wesley Farnsworth doesn’t argue with its sting — he remembers living under it. But his new book, The Blueprint of Becoming: A Practical Guide to Faith, Failure, and Finding Your Way Forward, makes a persuasive case that the line is a lie we don’t have to keep believing.
With disarming candor and steady pastoral warmth, Farnsworth maps how he moved from secrecy and shame to purpose and service, then hands readers the tools to take their own first steps. The result is a book that functions as testimony, teacher and travel companion all at once.
