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.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER Soon to be a major motion picture "Jon Swift + Witches of Eastwick + Kelly 'Get In Trouble' Link + Mean Girls + Creative Writing Degree Hell! No punches pulled, no hilarities dodged, no meme unmangled! O Bunny you are sooo genius!" —Margaret Atwood, via Twitter "A wild, audacious and ultimately unforgettable novel." —Michael Schaub, Los Angeles Times "Awad is a stone-cold genius." —Ann Bauer, The Washington Post The Vegetarian meets Heathers in this darkly funny, seductively strange novel from the acclaimed author of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl and Rouge "We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?" Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort--a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other "Bunny," and seem to move and speak as one. But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled "Smut Salon," and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door--ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies' sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus "Workshop" where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision. The spellbinding new novel from one of our most fearless chroniclers of the female experience, Bunny is a down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, friendship and desire, and the fantastic and terrible power of the imagination. Named a Best Book of 2019 by TIME, Vogue, Electric Literature, and The New York Public Library

Pages : 257
Book Description
While working on a spring 2020 internship for Untold, a Middle Tennessee State University student proposed Untold: The Campus Diaries as a mental health awareness campaign within the campus community. In a “Dear Diary” format, this online blog was designed to resonate with any student who has faced a challenge, crisis, or difficult period through their college years. The result? Even with COVID-19 and nationwide campus shutdowns, students began submitting the powerful and moving stories of their mental health challenges, adjustments to campus life, celebrations of achievements, and their hopes for future opportunities. The powerful online blog also showcases the need for enhanced mental health awareness on university campuses. Since its inception, Untold: The Campus Diaries has grown globally, capturing the dramatic impact of student voices. Like other facets of the entire Untold Project, the student’s voice is heard through the art of both conversation and written word. It allows for unspoken and silent topics to be given a safe (and anonymous) place, free of judgment, where shared experiences help fellow students through their own hardships. The project allows students not only to be heard but to foster education, hope, and compassion within the campus community as mental health issues are elevated. The Campus Diaries project expanded in 2021 to showcase selected, anonymous student essays in a traveling exhibit that is displayed in high-traffic sites on campus. The Untold team is currently partnering with universities to bring this exhibit to campuses around the world and positively impact mental health in student communities. This book contains unedited entries by anonymous students. These authors’ words and thoughts are unfiltered. We hope the original essays will create change within the hearts and minds of the students and across their host communities as we strive for enhanced mental health throughout society.
