Different By Design Book and Curriculum

Rediscovering that a Godly Life is Still a Good Life!

This book/personal study and the accompanying curriculum is designed to help young adults develop not only a godly heart, but a godly lifestyle to match! It exposes the myth that God doesn’t care how we behave, He only cares about our heart. It calls Christians to embrace a pure heart that flows into a distinctive lifestyle.

This study has twelve chapters that each include ten practical points heavily supported by God’s Word. Each chapter studies a particular aspect of Christian living that pop-culture and pop-Christianity is quickly tossing aside. The lessons are written so they can be studied in in a group setting (Sunday school, Bible study, or Christian School Bible class) or worked through as a family. Each lesson has questions for personal study and also a homework for families section that is meant to involve parents in the instructing and discovery process.

Teacher’s Guide – 273 pages (paperback)
Student Guide – 158 pages (paperback)
Personal Study Book Version – soon to be released, 219 pages (paperback)

Life Quest – Braving Adulthood with Biblical Passion

This paperback book is now available from Striving Together Publications in two formats—paperback and MP3 CD. This book addresses the challenges of embracing adult life in a culture that is trying to keep us immature and irresponsible. Part one deals with the reasons that young adults in their 20’s and 30’s are buying the lie that they can stay childish. Part two deals with the wonderful rewards of moving forward in life—the big blessings that God has in store for those who gladly “grow up.” Part three deals with how to accept the challenges of adult life with true, biblical passion.

This book was a couple years in the research and development and it challenges the reader to move forward in life for God. You can find out more about it or purchase it by clicking here:
