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.

Download or read book Live to Tell written by Fr. Zef Pllumi and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-04-02 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1944, Albania erupted in civil war. The communist party prevailed and acted quickly and brutally. By 1946, through executions, imprisonments, and mass banishments, the communists broke the back of Albania's freedom. A young Franciscan Catholic and man of heroic character in this time of inhumanity, Friar Zef Pllumi was arrested, brutally tortured, imprisoned, and sent to labor camps. Through deeply personal descriptions of shocking atrocities, Fr. Pllumi focuses on his extraordinary will to survive and his powerful faith. His intense desire to "live to tell" honors those martyred with Christ's name on their lips. Fr. Pllumi was initially released in 1949. Fr. Pllumi's memories are a brave confrontation of communism. His story's power lays in the fact that despite obscene efforts, the communist party could not succeed. As Fr. Pllumi states, "They think people are frightened before dying, but what they don't realize is that when you've arrived to a certain agonizing point, nothing is frightening anymore." Fr. Pllumi's historical memoir also delivers clear lessons for today. Amid the many horrors, differences in beliefs melted away. Christians, Muslims, Albanians, Italians, and French alike, although wounded physically, emotionally, and spiritually, were still alive to help each other and stand together and triumph for mankind.
Download or read book Let s Talk about Death written by Steve Gordon and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts in end-of-life care tell us that we should talk about death and dying with relatives and friends, but how do we get such conversations off the ground in a society that historically has avoided the topic? This book provides one example of such a conversation. The coauthors take up challenging questions about pain, caregiving, grief, and what comes after death. Their unlikely collaboration is itself connected to death: the murders of two of Irene's closest friends and Steve's support in perpetuating memories of those friends' lives and not just their violent ends. The authors share the results of a no-holds-barred discussion they conducted for several years over email. Readers can consider a range of views on complicated issues to which there are no right answers. Letting ourselves pose certain questions has the potential to profoundly change the way we think about death, how we choose to die, and, just as importantly, the way we live. Honest, probing, sensitive, and even humorous at times, the completely open discussions in this book will help readers deal with a topic that most of us try to avoid but that everyone will face eventually.

Download or read book Live to Tell written by David Talamantes and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organisations private and public operate in an increasingly uncertain landscape, in which they are confronted with challenges they might not be ready to face. They desperately need the engaged minds of their workforces. The evidence, however, suggests that for the most part they don't have that. There is an urgent need to address the high cost of low trust and employee disengagement. Revealing a new approach centred on redefining what we mean by 'management' and 'business', and that it is a collective form of learning that binds them together and facilitates sustained high performance, Donal Carroll examines high performing organisations to uncover how they have built trust, managed value, adopted new types of business model and successfully engaged in collective learning. The new management model is about retaining control by giving it away, more accountable self-management, a new professionalism, and about framing organisation as the basic unit of purpose rather than management itself. Next, new business models are examined more suited to complex, internet-enabled markets that allow greater choice, but which need organizational alertness to what works. Thirdly, learning is considered, with a focus on moving from organisational learning to productive interference sustaining action-based learning that thrives on 'mess' in an open, trusting, democratic climate. The author provides tools and techniques enabling organisations to measure creativity and innovation and to undertake self-assessment of their position in relation to the new management, business and learning models, as well as guidance on energising change initiatives, self-leading and accountability. Practicing managers, change leaders, coaches and consultants, as well as business scholars and researchers, will find much that is useful in this book.
