Keep It Real Press publishes books by people who have been through what they are writing about. No experts. No platforms. Just honest books for people who need them.
Every book in the By Design collection rests on one conviction: you were made on purpose, for a purpose, by a God who wired your value, your relationships, your peace, and your imagination into the original design. The collection launches with three: Valuable by Design, which frees you from performance-based worth; Connected by Design (Two Trees, Two Kingdoms), which names the operating system the whole human race defaulted to and the better tree we were always meant to live from; and Disarmed by Design, which exposes how the enemy counterfeits and assaults that design, and how the finished work of Christ has already disarmed him. Read any one as a doorway. Read them all as a map home.
Breaking free from perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the need to prove your worth. Releases September 20, 2026 — pre-order the ebook.
The same truth, for ages 4–8.
The same truth, for ages 13–17.
The operating system the whole human race defaulted to, and the better tree we were always meant to live from.
How Christ defeated the enemy and restored the authority he stole.
Beneath the collection sits a separate work: a design thesis on how we were made in the image of a Maker, and what that means for everything we make. A different track, for a different reader.
