Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Black magic, also known as dark magic, is a form of magic that is used to harm or manipulate other people. While it has been practiced for centuries in various cultures, many people view it as a fraudulent activity. This is because black magic practitioners often prey on vulnerable people and exploit their fears and desires for profit. One of the most common ways that black magic is used in fraudulent activity is through love spells. Many people turn to black magic practitioners when they are struggling with relationship issues or seeking love. These practitioners offer to cast love spells that will make the person they desire fall in love with them or return to them. However, these spells are often fake, and the practitioners take advantage of the person's vulnerability to extract large amounts of money from them.

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.
