A Redesigned Life
We all love great design. Beauty. Simplicity. Color. Balance. But what happens when we discover we are living a life we did not design? When our dreams lie in tatters and nothing is going according to our carefully laid-out plans? Where is God in the midst of the mess?
Drawing from time-honored design principles such as movement, contrast, and pattern, Bible teacher and former interior designer Tracy Steel offers you the assurance that God is the ever-present, caring Designer of your life, and that he remains true to his plans and purposes in every season—especially the messy ones. Through biblical examples and true stories from her own experience, Tracy will help you recognize God’s purposeful design in your life so you can experience peace and contentment even when life doesn’t go as planned.

Jesus Calling
As I slid my bag onto seat 28E, I uttered, “Lord, just get me there!” I made small talk with the stranger beside me and felt the familiar nervous flutters in my stomach that come whenever I travel. Several hours later and 30,000 feet above the Midwestern plains, I let out a relieved chuckle as I crunched stale airline pretzels and sipped bubbly ginger ale…
Christian Parenting
I can still remember how their voices giggled as they talked about the babies growing inside of them. I faked a smile as I listened to my friends discuss the pros and cons of store-bought versus homemade baby food.

But for the most part I didn’t give death much thought …
