About the Book

Identify the issues that matter most to you, create a plan of action, and make the impact God wants you to make—locally, nationally, and globally—with this undated, guided twelve-month planner.

All too often, the news is filled with heart-wrenching stories of poverty, injustice, inequality, fear, prejudice, divisions, and more. You may want to help fix the brokenness and change the world, but may not know where to start.

In Be the Difference Planner, you will find the motivational strategies and organizational tools to identify the issues that matter most to you. Then, using the planner’s practical guides and insightful reflections, you can map out intentional steps to create a meaningful impact, both at home and on a global scale.

Special features and tools that will instruct and enable you to be the difference include:

overviews of several current issues that have always been on God’s heart and should be on ours as well—such as poverty, racial reconciliation, homelessness, fostering, and human trafficking
monthly spreads to organize and view a month at a glance and refreshing monthly check-ins for guarding against burnout
brainstorming and vision board pages for narrowing advocacy goals and focus
profile spotlights on leaders and advocates who are already established voices in different humanitarian spaces
a log for tracking taxable gifts and donations throughout the year
space to record and reflect on any articles, blogs, books, films, or other media that speak to your topic of focus
line art throughout

God has called us to love those around us. In our broken and hurting world, redemption is still part of His plan, and it’s time to be the difference.

Review

If you are faith based and are looking for a social cause to rally behind or have something in mind and want to gather your focus more collectively, this is a wonderful monthly planner to have. It’s not like your typical planner. You can curate your own journey based upon the tools they give to guide your progress in the planner. The time frame is open ended so you can start when you want to use it. Many find themselves wanting to do so much but don’t know where to start. This is one of those resource tools that you can brainstorm, visualize and plan out your advocacy agenda. You can keep track of ideas, reflect and so much more. If you aren’t sure, they offer some ideas to consider getting involved in and throughout the planner highlight individuals out there making a difference.

This isn’t just for those who are just starting out but for those who have a cause and want to organize their efforts. Overall, it was an interesting concept for a journal and I know that the people who use it will find it helpful and fulfilling.
