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
You can fear God or everything else. Fear wisely. Most Christians will agree that we ought to love our God. But what about fearing God? The Bible says that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Proverbs 9:10), yet a broad survey of modern evangelicalism reveals that the fear of God is hardly regarded as such anymore. Many Christians seem to wrongly assume that the gospel of grace trumps the fear of the Lord. Yet it is only the God of the gospel who is truly worthy of our reverential fear. The purpose of this book is to equip Christians with a healthy view of fearing God and to illustrate how it reconciles with the gospel of God's grace to sinners.

Book Description
I’m sure you have read scriptures of Jesus casting out demons in the Bible. Maybe you have heard it referenced in a sermon in church or maybe watching a sermon online. But how often are you seeing that today within the church which is the body of Christ? The devil has either been revealed in a different way or has gone unnoticed throughout the body of Christ. Therefore, he has been able to stay hidden so his agenda can go forward which has given him access to the church. He has been able to disguise himself within the church which gives people the impression they are among the light when they are really surrounded by darkness. You may ask, “How do I know that?” I’m glad you asked because I was that person. Although reared in the church, knew the Bible, and recited the scriptures, I found myself bound by demons, enslaved to sin, and trapped in a world of darkness, with no way of getting out. This book takes you on a journey of how I went many years, not even recognizing that the enemy had me trapped, and how I was able to get out even in the midst of feeling like there was no hope. This book is for the body of Christ. It’s a wake-up call that we must wake up and open our spiritual eyes to see what is really right in front of us and sometimes what’s within us. But we are not without hope! Ultimately, this book is about the hope that Jesus has already given us. The same Jesus who was able to set me free can set you free too! Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. —Revelation 2:29 (NLT)

Book Description
This book is an account of the author's personal journey through healing and into a healing ministry. With a simple and down-to-earth style, the author demystifies the idea of healing the sick through prayer. His goal is to encourage others to use the power of prayer as a main line of defense. He explains the basic theology of healing and how to pray for yourself and others. There is also a section that discusses the times when God does not heal. Should we always expect healing? This introduction to the subject of prayer and healing balances the miraculous with the practical and draws from such well known sources a John Wimber, Francis McNutt, Smith Wigglesworth and others. Many personal stories included.

Book Description
Past scholarship on the prison-escapes in the Acts of the Apostles has tended to focus on lexical similarities to Euripides' Bacchae, going so far as to argue for direct literary dependence. Moving beyond such explanations, the present study argues that miraculous prison-escape was a central event in a traditional and culturally significant story about the introduction and foundation of cults - a story discernable in the Bacchae and other ancient texts. When the mythic quality and cultural diffusion of the prison-escape narratives are taken into account, the resemblance of Lukan and Dionysian narrative episodes is seen to depend less on specific literary borrowing, and more on shared familiarity with cultural discourses involving the legitimating portrayal of new cults in the ancient world.

Book Description
What if you realized that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not centrally focused on “doing” the will of God, but “becoming” the will of God? What if God’s word is sown as seed in your heart, conceiving the nature of Jesus Christ within so that this new nature can be organically grown out of you, transforming you into the image of Christ by the Holy Ghost? Read The Organic Gospel and finally understand what salvation is really about...maybe for the first time in your life.

Book Description
Do you find yourself caught up in comparing yourself to others, performing for acceptance, or held captive to perfectionism? You are not alone. We all currently live in a world that seems to demand an acceptable identity, especially exaggerated by social media. It seems to drive us to compare how we look, what we have, and how we perform (or fail to perform). This leads us to question ourselves: What if I fail to measure up? What if I don’t have what it takes? What if I’m not enough? It seems logical to hide in safety behind clever masks or high emotional walls created to avoid the judgment of others or the feelings of inadequacy, guilt, fear, or shame. Yet that means you’re trapped in hiding who you are, often questioning your value and worth. Our Masquerade invites you to confront your hiding places. You can discover how, why, and where you’ve learned to hide and once you’ve done so, you can say goodbye to tormenting thoughts and feelings that steal your confidence and your peace. You can leave the past behind and find the pathway to escape into a life transformed. This book will guide you to examine the ways in which life has induced you to hide and offers the inspiration to take off your masks, escape your hiding places, and learn to live with confidence.

Book Description
The first book, The Flaming Sword, was not so much of a daily devotional at all; but worth exploring as well, if not before this devotional! In my ministry, counselling with so many people, I found that people need the Word of God simply broken down in simple reading; as many just read the Bible without really understanding what they are reading! Folayan Osekita, a servant prophet and evangelist of the Living God, has done this so well; and all the reader needs is to take the time and trouble to commit to daily reading and studying of the devotional - and they would surely be very blessed in Jesus Name!
