Book Description
Biblical Dysfunctional Families That Made It, Now So Can You; is a book that takes a private look at different Biblical families and their dysfunctional backgrounds and how they succeeded in spite of them. It brings the bible into 21st century perspective in order to help people facing today issues find a godly solution for them. While times may have changed, the struggles remain real and the same - incest, murder, rejection, greed, lies, misguided ministers, bad in-laws, sibling rivalry and deceptive marriages to name a few. Yet, in spite of it all some; through love, longsuffering, sacrifice and forgiveness rose above these things to make it. This book reminds us all that every family has a bit of dysfunction in it and we must learn to deal with it in order to overcome it. Being from a dysfunctional family does not mean that one needs to remain dysfunctional. We all have a responsibility to the next generation, to learn how to move forward. Only through the love of Christ, sacrifice and willingness can we rid our societies, churches and families of dysfunction. Let us learn from those who were before us, that one day we might become the family that others are privileged to read about. She is a well-sought after speaker and has addressed audiences and ministries world-wide. Sandra also pens a monthly newsletter titled "In Harvest," that addresses struggling relationship issues. She resides bi-continental in both America and Africa, while overseeing World Harvest Covenant Churches in several West African countries. She has a ministry in Laurel, Maryland and sits on a number of boards that help and encourages financial empowerment of young women and men.

I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die
Author: Sarah J. Robinson
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 0593193539
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.
