The Rock Rooster Books The Curious Command: A Clean Teen Romance About Listening to God When Life Is Falling Apart: 3 Paperback

Jason Hayes looks like he has it all together. He is on track to graduate near the top of his class, he has a scholarship waiting, and his best friend became his girlfriend. But underneath the acceptable surface, everything is cracking. His father's addiction destroyed their family five years ago. His mother is drowning in debt and unpaid bills. And Jason himself is running from God, from responsibility, and from the hard truth that the people he loves most have been carrying weight he was supposed to share. Then Madison and her friend Lily give him a gift: a leather-covered book titled How to Make a Difference in the Lives of Other People. When he opens it, every page is blank. But not for long. One by one, printed instructions begin to appear, each one pressing Jason toward something harder than the last. Apologize to your mom. See your dad. Talk to Claudia. Spend time with me. The commands are never comfortable, and they never arrive at a convenient moment. Following them means facing a mother whose anger has become explosive, a sister he has emotionally abandoned, a father trying to rebuild what addiction destroyed, and a relationship with Madison that he has taken for granted long enough. Jason is learning what it means to stop knowing about God and start actually returning to him, one obedient step at a time. But faith tested inside a family on the edge of collapse is faith that gets very real, very fast. If you love clean teen romance built on genuine faith, relatable family struggles, and characters who grow where it costs them something, this is the story you have been waiting for.
