Following Jesus: Life Guides

When following Jesus meets a hard situation, where do you turn?

Life Guides is the companion booklet to the Following Jesus pathway. Its twenty short guides go deeper into real situations that the four books touch on only briefly: family opposition, addiction, singleness, marriage, money, screens, disability, grief over sin, life after migration, and more.

Each guide starts with a real-life question, opens what the Bible teaches, draws clear practical distinctions, and offers a realistic next step. Where safety matters, it says so plainly and points to the right help. The teaching rests on Scripture itself, not on any one tradition or theory. Read the guide you need, when you need it.
