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
This anthology deals with these very topics. The main themes are priority and growth, thus making the title of the book: “Flourish Your Being”. The authors have shared diligently, with utmost care and precision their deepest fears, their challenges of childhood and adulthood alike, their progress or self-growth and how their priorities changed over time and have shown how they overcame these hurdles that life threw at them. They have also talked about their dreams, and the hopelessness that comes when it seems as if the dream is unattainable. They have expressed the feeling of exhilaration they felt when they realized their self-worth while reminiscing about their life from the very beginning, thus explaining both the pessimistic and optimistic sides of themselves to which we all can relate with ease. The focus being sometimes more on the “dark side” of life, and expressing the anger and hurt in an intricate way while playing with words. As this dark part is also important; it is the struggle that makes us reach to a higher summit and makes us strong and resilient for further challenges in life and gives us the strength to face our problems, to be realistic instead of a procrastinator. Several of the authors have also pointed out about their relationships with other people, how the equations changed over time, how the people whom they have loved and on whom they had an unbreakable trust betrayed them, and how despite all this they decided to forgive them and move on. We hope this anthology will prove to be an inspirational piece of work, and that the readers will enjoy by connecting with the authors in their personal journeys. Some of the works are fictional, or modified.

Book Description
Reflections By: Thomas S. Kane This little book is a book on Christology: the presence and meaning of Jesus. But it is Christology from below; from the perspective of Religious experience: his and ours. It looks at the historical Jesus, his vision, his ministry, its collapse, and his awful death. Then it shifts to “What does the resurrection mean?” for Jesus, for us, for the cosmos. The chapter “Hints and Guesses” tries to look at common human experiences that reveal the presence of the Risen One in our lives and our world.

When I Look Up
Author: Ron Gallo
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1664197141
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Most Christian books have a problem. For they speak from an “adult perspective”, and not a child’s. They leave out, the most important aspect of the foundation when walking with God, and that is the child. They say. do ABCDE, to get a better walk with God. That’s fine, but we forget about the growth of the child and there characteristics, is the Christian life template for an adult to look at and learn from. This is the reason why children come before adults; it’s so we can see who God sees. God doesn’t see us as we see each other as adults, in arrogance. God doesn’t care about your social status, or you can have more degrees than a thermometer, you are his child. God sees adults as tall children. So now let’s look deeper into a child’s life, and how it relates to Gods foundation... the family. Understanding the child, then you will understand yourself, and what God wants from us as adults. Looking at the genesis of a child we can see many attributes and characteristics of a child that God wants to see in us. We can shadow, and be a reflection of “childlike”, not childish as Jesus said in the book of Mathew. Jesus clearly states ‘unless you’re like a child, you shall not enter....’ Right off the bat, Jesus is drawing the line in the sand. Children have many characteristics that we miss as adults, and forget that we went through these same characteristics ourselves. From looking up, having child like faith, being able to be led, humility, believability, no pride or self righteousness etc. This fascinating book being different, will enhance any reader/parent to take a stronger look at their own Christian life, and check off the boxes to see if there in alignment with Gods standards. There a chapter on being blind when your awake, yet we trust him in sleep, and other great gems of wisdom.

When Jesus Was a Green-Eyed Brunette
Author: Max Davis
Publisher: Worthy Books
ISBN: 1617958786
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
When Jesus Was a Green-Eyed Brunette weaves heartwarming and miraculous stories of Jesus showing up in ordinary people, revealing that He knows us and is fully present in our everyday circumstances, especially in our difficulties. As best-selling author Max Davis puts it, "When we are born again, Jesus lives inside each of us. He is very much alive today and still does incredible things -- sometimes supernatural things -- through us!" Davis's own life was dramatically altered when he first came face-to-face with Jesus living inside a green-eyed brunette. That encounter started a forty-plus-year journey where Jesus became his best friend. When we see others as God sees us we will love them as God loves us. Those hurting and weary from worn-out religion are longing for a fresh touch from the living Jesus. By letting Jesus live through us we become a conduit of His love. Authentic Christianity is not about religion but a relationship with Jesus. Davis challenges us to do more than simply receive His grace -- we need to allow grace to soften, change, and shape us. As you read this book, you will laugh, cry, and come face-to-face with the living Jesus.
