Most of the designs include pictures of nature. Insects, plants, and birds are the most common elements. There is an even balance between the number of pages centered around Bible verses and those centered around quotes from Jesus Calling.
Scattered throughout the book are hand lettering pages that have quotes on which one can practice doing different kinds of lettering. There is also a practice page in the very back with the entire alphabet of one particular design of letters. It would be easy to make copies of this in order to practice until one felt comfortable enough to design quotes on one's own.

A Contrarian's Guide to Knowing God: Spirituality for the Rest of Us by Larry Osborne is the book every American Christian should read though few would think to look for. Osborne goes against conventional wisdom with this book that helps those who may feel they don't fit in the American church find a home.
Most Christian living books advocate for some kind of program to follow, or steps to take to strengthen one's faith. Osborne takes the opposite approach. He points out that since people are so different in wiring, strengths, and likes, it would be silly for God to expect everyone to relate to Him in the exact same way. A Contrarian's Guide to Knowing God gives the reader permission to pursue God in ways that are most effective for the individual.
This book was previously published under the title Spirituality for the Rest of Us. This is an updated version with a few new chapters. It is easy to read and accessible for any reader. A Contrarian's Guide to Knowing God is full of practical advice that should benefit anyone who chooses to engage the content.
