Using my experience strength & hope

To benefit people just like you.

I do this by working to help people overcome personal obstacles, lead organizations and quite literally trying to change the world for the better through public policy. If you'd like to know more about why I do what I do, and how I got here, I encourage you to read my first book, Highly Functional.

Praise and Testimonials for Highly Functional

This is a wonderful book! It's Mr. DeRoche's personal story of his growth and deliverance from alcohol addiction into a life of honesty to himself, others, and God, and of service to God.  There are many beautiful and personal details that will explain to you what it's like when you allow God to transform your life, and how one could connect with the Lord to start this process in the first place.

This is a wonderful book. It is first a very interesting true story. At the age of 34, the author had it all -- a beautiful family and a wonderful job, and he was the youngest ever speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives. I lived in Michigan at the time and Craig was a well known, well liked politician.
 The truthful events that led to his catastrophic downfall, and then of course, the story of what happens next. This book is honest, raw and  extremely well written

This is a page turner - I planned to just read it until the seatbelt sign came up on my flight, but the buzzer went off and I couldn't put it down.


A powerful celebration of what God can do in anyone, even when it looks like you have hit rock bottom.

Excellent book. Honest and compelling.

Hi, I'm Craig DeRoche

CEO at Family Policy Alliance, former Michigan Speaker of the House, former President of Justice Fellowship, founded by Chuck Colson.

After great material success followed by losing everything that I thought mattered to me in this world I was introduced to a simple solution that changed my life completely. Since that wonderful encounter my life has been spent sharing what I learned and trying to apply it to make positive changes to our world, our culture and to the individual lives of people I meet. More than a decade later, God has used me to bring this solution to a great many people individually, and millions of people affected by the justice system and public policies that affect the families of our country.
