Book Description
Delivering inspiration and "parenting comedy at its finest,"* here is one woman's story of ditching her fairytale dreams and falling in love with her unpredictable, chaotic, imperfect life from the author of I Can Fix This Kristina Kuzmic has made herself a household name, speaking directly to mothers from the trenches of parenthood via her viral videos and social media presence. She is now bringing her message of self-acceptance, resilience, and joy to book readers. With a refreshingly unpretentious, funny, and galvanizing voice, Kuzmic goes behind the scenes to reveal how she went from broke and defeated to unshakably grounded and brimming with thankfulness. Illuminating the hard-won wisdom from a life always spent one step behind--whether it was as a high school student new to America, a suddenly single mother to two kids, remarried and juggling two teens and a toddler, or the unexpected recipient of Oprah's attention and investment--Hold On, But Don't Hold Still is the book every mother needs to reassure her that she's not only fine just as she is, but that she already has more tools and support than she can possibly imagine. Sparkling with wit, this heartfelt memoir is like a long coffee date with a best friend, or the eleventh-hour text message that gives you just the boost you need to get through the night. *The Huffington Post

Book Description
A person who is a preacher is a person people look up to because that person represents God. The story that you are about to read is about Reverend Solomon Jack, his wife Romania, and their three sons Peter, Johnny, and David. I tagged them the miserable, the humble, and the terrible. Peter the miserable because he never listened to his parents. They always had to bail him out of trouble. The day he left to join the army, his parents were so happy because he was a bad influence on Johnny. David the humble because he was the youngest, but he never gave his parents any trouble. He was the youngest, but he never gave his parents any problems. It seemed like they did not pay much attention to him. But being the youngest, everyone loved him. Johnny I call the terrible because he gave his parents the most trouble. But in spite of his bad habits, his mother loved him to death. He could do no wrong in her eyes, not only to his mother but also to everyone who loved Johnny. He was just that type of person. He caused his father to lose his church and he caused his mother's death. What is so amazing is that Jesus died to save us from our sins, but it took Romania's death for Johnny to give his heart to Christ. Romania was a praying woman. She prayed for her sons' night and day. I know that she will be happy when her sons join her in heaven.

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.
