About this ebook

In a world buzzing with screens and endless notifications, youth are navigating more noise than ever. The Common Rule Youth Edition provides clarity and purpose, tailored specifically for teens and tweens (grades 6-12). Adapted from Justin Whitmel Earley's bestselling book, The Common Rule Youth Edition empowers young readers to break free from the stress and anxiety that modern life can impose.

The Common Rule Youth Edition equips young people with the tools to help them find peace and fulfillment through simple, intentional habits designed to foster freedom and rest. Earley draws on his own experiences to illustrate how small actions can lead to significant transformation.

  • Prayers: Initiate a practice of humility and gratitude by setting aside time for intentional prayer each day.
  • Daily Scripture Reading: Cultivate a habit of reading and reflecting on scriptures to nourish your spiritual journey.
  • Digital Detoxes: Schedule regular breaks from screens and social media to encourage mindfulness and presence in real-world interactions.
  • Weekly Community Time: Prioritize spending quality time with family or friends to build strong, supportive relationships.
  • Sabbath Rest: Dedicate one day a week to rest and rejuvenation, free from work and electronic distractions.
  • Physical Activity: Run, walk, or play at least four hours each week to experience a healthier body and a healthier mind.
  • Shared Meals: Engage in communal meals that emphasize connection and conversation, strengthening bonds over food.

The Common Rule Youth Edition goes beyond mere advice. With expanded content and study guide questions, it sparks individual reflection and group discussions, making it perfect for personal growth and community learning. The Common Rule Youth Edition offers a roadmap to a balanced and meaningful life
