How is this different from just buying the books?
The novels are the story; the curriculum is the formation system built around them. Enrollment adds the 36 structured weekly lessons, the Hosea deep studies, the Pass It Down™ mentorship assessments, required journaling with a year-long record, parent and counselor sections, toolkits, Growth Trackers, quarterly Harvests, and the Blessing Ceremony — none of which are in the books alone. (The books ARE included with enrollment, so you never buy twice.)
What are the Hosea deep studies?
Section 3 of every week is a full study connecting the lesson to the book of Hosea: the biblical text with key Hebrew words, historical context (dates, kings, political and social conditions, archaeology), biblical theology and cross-references, verse meaning with common misconceptions, psychological insights from current research, neuroscience, Relational Integrity™ applications, leadership development, clinical application, spiritual formation, Christ-centered fulfillment, practical application, reflection questions, a prayer, key takeaways, and references for further research — all written in everyday language a teenager actually enjoys reading.
Who leads it — and can parents follow along?
The course is presented by Ms. Grace, the counselor from the novels, who opens every week with a check-in, a Brain Check, and the review that sets up the week's mentoring test. Parents have a dedicated section explaining each phase of the year, their calendar moments, and how to run the weekly Send It Home conversation.
Can it be used in counseling settings?
Yes — it's designed Tier I–III. The Counselor Section includes a session rhythm for student-plus-counselor work, unit-by-unit clinical notes, disclosure and referral guidance, and treatment-target mapping. It supports but never replaces professional mental-health treatment.
Is the faith content adjustable for public school settings?
The lessons run on a full SEL/clinical spine (CASEL-aligned, trauma-informed, attachment- and EF-based). In settings where explicit faith content isn't appropriate, the Faith strand and Hosea studies can be assigned as optional/home components while the classroom uses Sections 1, 2, and 4–6.
Where do I buy just the books?
Both novel series — the six Relational Integrity novels and the fourteen Divided Hallways / Hosea novels — have their own page at $15.99 each, or free inside this curriculum. This page is for the full course experience.
