Download or read book He Had to Break Me to Bless Me written by Ashley Magee Madry and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever asked, "God, why me?" Christians often share of the goodness of God, his grace, his mercy, his sacrifice, and his unconditional love. When they share the trials and tribulations they experience, they share as if their faith and belief in God were unwavering. Often, Christians lack transparency; they suppress the truth of their spiritual struggles when sharing with others their relationship with God. He Had to Break Me to Bless Me is about the personal journey of a Christian woman that lost her faith and belief in God following personal tragedies in her life. She questioned why she had to endure such pain and heartache. Where was God in the midst of her suffering? Why did God allow bad things to happen to good people? During the darkest times in her life, she was angry with God and felt as if God had robbed and cheated her, leaving her lonely and abandoned. Each chapter uncovers her emotional journey from being lost to being restored. Through her journey, she explores and exposes how the question of "God, why me?" is answered; while challenging believers to engage in a personal inventory of their preparedness to enter the kingdom of God. She introduces nonbelievers to Jesus Christ by sharing her testimony of spiritual immaturity to spiritual wholeness. From her personal journey of restoration, individuals will gain an understanding that there is a blessing in all trials and tribulations. All that is endured in life is according to God's divine purpose and plan for your life. After reading this book, you will have renewed faith and hope, realizing that God must break you to bless you and the blessing is for you to glorify God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
