Book Description
As you read through the Bible, you will notice that God is telling the stories of how He dealt with people through the ages. One common theme runs through all of history. That theme includes three events that seem to happen to everyone who chooses to follow Him. First, they are sinners. Without God's help, they cannot obey Him and receive His blessing. Second, they all seem to go through some form of trial, persecution, or suffering. Third, they turn to God, put their lives in His hands, and God blesses them. You see that in the life of Joseph from the of book of Genesis. You see it in the life of David. You see it in the life of Job. You see it in the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus. You see it in the life of Peter. You see it in the life of Paul. Most importantly, you see it in the life of Jesus. I believe that the reason God wrote the Bible in the way He did is to show us how He wants to work in the lives of every person, even today. This book tells the story of one person who has and still is experiencing these things in his life today. The purpose of this book is to encourage you no matter where you are in your relationship with God. God loves you and is working in your life just as He did in the lives of the people whose stories are told in the Bible. You may not be a Christian yet, you may be a new Christian, you may have been walking with Jesus for years. Whatever point you are at in your relationship with God, I pray that this book will strengthen you to continue to seek after God as He has been seeking after you all your life.

I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die
Author: Sarah J. Robinson

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Heres a fascinating new book which answers the question not many have asked, "Where did racism come from and why, the heck, is it still here?" Pearl Jr. asked this question to herself 30 years ago and has utilized her lifetime to seek the answers. She says, "this is a book of original thought based solely and purely on facts that are supported by the scholarly community. The evolution of the races, an analysis of racial origins and habitats, correlated with the development of different psyches marks this book as a first of its kind that proves a theory that just makes sense. Although race-relations is very complicated, Pearl Jr.s writing style is conversational and easy-to-read. The Climate: A Perspective Unvisited examines the complexities of the world according to race. Pearl Jr. chronologically details the stimulus that has created the worlds varied racial populations, differences in skin, eye and hair color(texture), as well as gives the reason for the distinguishable eye shape of people from (mainly) Southeast Asia. At a recent lecture, Pearl Jr. asked, "Am I the only person who wanted to know these answers?" The audience stood attentively silent waiting to hear more. This manual is intended to create a new movement that states, "The final phase of equality is within our mind." The era of slavery and the days of Jim Crow are legally abolished but what about mindsets that continue a belief system of inferiority and superiority based on race? "Were all human beings and there shouldve never been racism. . . racism will go down in history as one of the most disastrous mistakes of mankind" comments, speaker/author/activist, Pearl Jr.. "The story of race is so repugnant that only a truly mature person can handle the truth"--therefore, Pearl Jr. was extremely conscientious about attitudes and wrote this manual with a solidly loving, sympathetic and many times, empathetic tone. She also states, "the descendants of the oppressor need not feel responsible because the atrocities that racism created are not the fault of anyone living today." The Climate: A Perspective Unvisited has already sparked much discussion and Pearl Jr. is well on her way to becoming an important leader and voice of reason in the struggle to abolish racism in every form. This is a book for all races; its main theme is education through explanation, because according to Pearl Jr, "We all need to know the truth!" Since its first quarter 2002 release, The Climate: A Perspective Unvisited is already in its second printing.
