Book Description
If you've ever wanted to go back in time and talk to your younger self--to give advice, to say what you wish you had known then that you know now, to promise that even when it gets bad, it will get better--then this book is for you. If you are still young enough that most of life's lessons stretch ahead in front of you, then save yourself a heap of trouble and read what's on these pages. "This book is a must-have for readers who wish to garner the wisdom of a gifted writer who has lived it and learned a lot about life's journey along the way." --Dayton Daily News "Shuly Xóchitl Cawood opens her new book light-heartedly: with good advice on bangs. It's not all fun and games though: she also counsels her younger self on more serious topics-- love and faith and health and remembering that patience is sometimes required." --Courtney LeBlanc, author of The Violence Within "Here are three more things to tell yourself at any age: 1. This book belongs in the hands of everyone turning 17--or even 57! You won't find a better birthday gift. 2. Even if you don't read it until you're 57, it will still bring you tears, solace, and wisdom. 3. Here is a writer to follow closely: the beauty, delight and humor that emanates from her work will stay with you for a very long time." --Carla Sameth, author of One Day on the Gold Line: A Memoir

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.

The 52 Weeks

Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1626365024
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Edging into forty-something, Karen and Pam found themselves in a state of stuck. They had checked off many of their major life goals—career, husband, children, friends—but they’d lost momentum. After griping over drinks one night, they came up with a plan to face their fears, rediscover their interests, try new things, and renew their relationships. They challenged themselves to try one new thing every week for a year—from test-driving a Maserati to target practice at a shooting range to ballroom dance lessons—and to blog about their journeys. They quickly realized it was harder than they ever imagined but came through it with a sense of clarity and purpose that has them itching to share the possibilities with the millions of middle-aged women out there who feel the same way about one or many areas of their lives. Getting "unstuck" doesn’t have to mean running a marathon, traveling the world, or ending a relationship with your partner. Through their experiences and a good dose of no-nonsense advice, Karen and Pam show readers how achieving small goals can give you a renewed sense of accomplishment and how you can keep growing, learning, and moving forward at any age. Interspersed with personal stories is expert advice from doctors, psychiatrists, artists, and even a poker diva (who also happens to be a Fortune 500 executive).
