Change the way you think, one verse at a time

What if you had God's words with you all the time? Not just on your phone, but deep in your soul and on the tip of your tongue? It may sound daunting, or even impossible.

Knowing how hard Scripture memorization can be, Dwell Differently founders Natalie Abbott and Vera Schmitz created a simple, creative, and smart way to memorize Scripture and keep God's promises in your heart. Natalie and Vera not only reveal the importance of having a mind built on God's Word, they actually give you the tools necessary to defeat negative thoughts. In doing so, they help you:

· fight lies with truth
· replace fear with peace
· focus your heart on what really matters

In a world filled with negative voices competing for our attention, just one word from God is more powerful than any other. It's time to store up a wealth of them.

"Dwell Differently is an invitation we all need--to know, love, and apply God's Word to our everyday lives. No matter who you are or where you are in your journey with Christ, this book is sure to encourage your heart, mind, and soul."

Ruth Chou Simons, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, artist, and founder of GraceLaced.com

"Living in a biblically illiterate generation is scary, because then we as imperfect, broken humans get to pick what truth becomes. I'm really grateful that Natalie and Vera have decided to press into the joy and life-changing practice of learning and clinging to God's truth. This book grips the reality that when our imperfect, broken world has no answers, God's truth has them all. That's real good news."

Toni Collier, speaker, podcaster, and author of Brave Enough to Be Broken

"Dwell has been helping people memorize Scripture for years, and now this resource is full of reminders of why it matters. There is power in the words of the Bible, and by the end of this book, I am confident you'll be a different person."

Jamie Ivey, author and host of the podcast The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey

"Gospel-rich and accessible to every kind of reader, Dwell Differently celebrates the goodness of God's Word and shows you how to apply it to real-life circumstances. With warmth and transparency, Vera and Natalie will turn your eyes again and again toward the Savior who loves you so."

Glenna Marshall, author of The Promise Is His Presence, Everyday Faithfulness, and Memorizing Scripture

"Vera and Natalie's words feel like wise counsel from a kind friend. I will eagerly commend this book to my own teen daughters and my friends who are new to following Jesus. But it's not only for the young or the young in faith. Those who have walked with Christ for decades will also be deeply encouraged by this book and the timeless practice of abiding in God's Word. No Christian is ever too young or too old to dwell differently in God's truth."

Jen Oshman, author, podcaster, women's ministry director
