He also authored a book entitled, Counterfeit: The Lie of Living Together Unmarried. Bastian has authored hundreds of periodical publications, appearing in Light and Life magazine, the magazine of the Free Methodist Church, and in Christianity Today. Bastian's new book, God's House Rules,^[2] a book about biblical principles for family life, was released in 2007.
