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.

Pages : 193
Book Description
Most of us are regular people who have good days and bad days. Our lives are radically ordinary and unexciting. That means they're the kind of lives God gets excited about. While the world worships beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, the foolish, working in unawesome people, things, and places.In our day of celebrity worship and online posturing, this is a refreshing, even transformative way of understanding God and our place in his creation. It urges us to treasure a life of simplicity, to love those whom the world passes by, to work for God's glory rather than our own. And it demonstrates that God has always been the Lord of the cross--a Savior who hides his grace in unattractive, inglorious places.Your God Is Too Glorious reminds readers that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it's the regular, everyday people that God tends to use to do his most important work.

Life can be hard for any three-year-old who watches her 16-year-old mother take her last breath in a cheap hotel room. Young Hennessy's last memory of her mother is of her lying on a dirty hotel room floor covered in blood. Although the children were not hurt, Hennessy and her unborn brother don’t walk away unscathed. Due to witnessing her mama turn tricks while pregnant with her brother, and her father pimping her out, Hennessy develops an unwanted stigma on her life. Her brother, Dominique, survives the attack on his mama, but just like the old saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. The same hood that’s filled with trouble, drugs, and dope boys who once coveted her mama is Hennessy's home, and the dope boys now lust for her. Unlike Champagne, Hennessy isn’t allowing her beautiful body and drop dead gorgeous looks to overtake her. Unfortunately, wherever Hennessy goes, drama follows. And when she finally falls hard for someone who’s just as dope as the drug dealers who overcrowd her neighborhood, it opens the door to her fuzzy past. Secrets are exposed, and with her mother’s turbulent past, she is forced to face her demons. In the process, she will gain more than she bargained for. In Sha Jones’ latest tale, she takes you on an emotional rollercoaster loaded with love, drama, and raw passion from an 18-year-old girl who all the dope boys love.
