Not the book — the workbook built around you

The book started the conversation. This workbook walks your road.

This isn’t a copy of DETERMINED. It’s a new, personalized guide built from its 13 chapters and rewritten around what you are living with. Choose your condition from 30+ options, tell us your season of life and the area you live in, and we’ll prepare a beautifully designed digital workbook — your name on the cover, prompts, prayers, Scripture, and local resources written for your specific diagnosis. Type your answers straight into the PDF on any device — or print it and write by hand.

Digital download. One-time purchase; yours to type in or print.

We never sell or share your information. Your personalized workbook is automatically deleted from our storage after 90 days. Privacy details.

DETERMINED is a faith-based encouragement resource. It is not medical advice. Always consult your physician or qualified healthcare provider about your condition and treatment. Full disclaimer.

Take a look inside

Inside the DETERMINED workbook

A short, honest look at what’s actually in your personalized workbook — the letter written to you, the 13 guided chapters, the Scripture, prayers, and prompts shaped around your specific diagnosis.

What makes it yours

Four things we tailor to you.

Your illness

Choose from 25+ conditions — MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, RA, Diabetes, Chronic Pain, Cancer, Parkinson's, Heart Disease, Anxiety & Depression, Long COVID, Crohn's, POTS, and more, plus an ‘Other’ option if yours isn’t listed. Every chapter’s prompts are written for the reality of that diagnosis.

Your name

Displayed on the cover, spoken to on the inside. The intro letter is addressed to you by name — not a generic reader.

Your season of life

Young parent, single adult, caregiver, empty nester, retired — the prompts meet you where you actually are, not where a template thinks you are.

Your area

A regional resources page with vetted, established organizations near you — MS Society, NAMI, hospital systems. No informal groups, no doctor recommendations.
