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 Why Fear Death written by Curtis W. Coleman and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can I overcome the fear of death? How can I stop being afraid of dying? What happens when I die? Where do I go when I die? Can we know what will happen to us when we die? In Why Fear Death?, author Curtis Coleman answers yes! Leveraging his college and seminary training in the original biblical languages and his experience building a successful international biotechnology company, Coleman masterfully weaves the Bible, modern science, and popular culture into a tour de force that demystifies death and argues that the fear of dying can be defeated by knowing what many have argued is unknowable. For most people, the thing they most treasure is staying alive on earth. As a result, they live their entire lives in bondage to fear of physical death. Coleman argues compellingly that we can confidently know what happens when we die, and we can know where we will go when we die. We can choose to have the information that can eliminate the fear of death.

Download or read book Until Death Do You Part A Story of Faith Hope and Love written by Jeff Coulter and published by JNS Ministries. This book was released on 2022-01-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story written from two different perspectives: one of a husband and one of a wife. Our individual lives started from two diverse worlds and combined to become one life in 1987. We considered ourselves the typical, normal suburban family. As we grew in our marriage and focused on raising our children, we were determined to do so with God in first place and the kids in church. Unfortunately, the circumstances of life came into play a few years into our marriage and developed into a near cataclysmic end to two wonderful relationships: Our marriage to each other and our marriage to Christ. Jeff and Suzanne Coulter have been married since 1987. Jeff Coulter was born in 1966 and is from Williamsburg, Ohio. A devout Christian throughout his early adulthood, Jeff reached a crossroad with the death of his mother in 1988 and found himself turning away from God. On April 22nd, 2014 Jeff was nearly killed in a head on collision. Beating the odds and surviving the crash, one week later Jeff suffered multiple pulmonary emboli. Only 1 out of 20 survive such a traumatic incident. Jeff slipped into a void of nothingness; the absolute absence of the presence of God. A void filled with demonic beings and symbolic icons of hell and death. Miraculously surviving the crash and emboli, God also delivered Jeff from alcoholism and chronic depression. Through it all there was his wife Suzanne at his side as if she belonged there by God’s own invitation. Driving him along the way. Jeff has since rededicated his life to Christ and now dedicates himself to church ministries, online ministries and authoring diverse books.
Download or read book Death Is Inevitable Living Is Optional written by Sammy Naidoo and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death and suffering are inevitable parts of life.Some die young, making death seem senseless and cruel. Why would a good God inflict such suffering amidst the cries for help and a miracle? Even the cries of the faithful followers of Jesus are ignored. Is He real? This book is about my personal journey with cancer patients and their families. It is about understanding Gods great end-time plan and believing that He had us on His mind for an eternal purpose.This purpose was uniquely woven through the intricacies of lifes challenges by the Masters hand; to develop the mind and character of Christ, ultimately for His Glory and reconciliation with Him in Heaven. Death is not to be feared. Pain and death serve a purpose. Many lives are transformed. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28). When you open your heart to His love and healing, pain will turn into ministry. Heaven is real!

Download or read book Paul and His Mortality written by R. Gregory Jenks and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many books are written on Jesus' death, a gap exists in writings about the theological significance of a believer's death, particularly in imitation of Jesus'. Paul, as a first apostolic witness who talked frequently about his own death, serves as a foundational model for how believers perceive their own death. While many have commented about Paul's stance on topics such as forensic righteousness and substitutionary atonement, less is written about Paul's personal experience and anticipation of his own death and the merit he assigned to it. Paul and His Mortality: Imitating Christ in the Face of Death explores how Paul faced his death in light of a ministry philosophy of imitation: as he sought to imitate Christ in his life, so he would imitate Christ as he faced his death. In his writings, Paul acknowledged his vulnerability to passive death as a mortal, that at any moment he might die or come near death. He gave us some of the most mournful and vitriolic words about how death is God's and our enemy. But he also spoke openly about choosing death: "My aim is to know him . . . to be like him in his death." This study seeks to show that Paul embraced death as a follower and imitator of Christ because the benefits of a good death supersede attempts at self-preservation. For him, embracing death is gain because it is honorable, because it reflects ultimate obedience to God, and because it is the reasonable response for those who understand that only Jesus' death provides atonement. Studying mortality is paradoxically a study of life. Peering at the prospect of life's end energizes life in the present. This urgency focuses on living with mission in step with God, the Creator and Sustainer of life, who is rightly referred to as Life itself. By focusing on mortality, we focus on Paul's theology of life in its practical aspects, in particular, living life qualitatively, aware of God's kingdom and mission and our limited quantity of days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Do the Five Points of Calvinism Really Mean? Many have heard of Reformed theology, but may not be certain what it is. Some references to it have been positive, some negative. It appears to be important, and they'd like to know more about it. But they want a full, understandable explanation, not a simplistic one. What Is Reformed Theology? is an accessible introduction to beliefs that have been immensely influential in the evangelical church. In this insightful book, R. C.

Sproul explains the five points of Reformed theology and makes plain the reality of God's amazing grace.
Download or read book The Ground We Share written by Robert Aitken and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 1996-06-18 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These dialogues between Robert Aitken Roshi, one of the first American-born Zen masters, and Brother David Steindl-Rast, the Roman Catholic monk and hermit, took place during a week-long retreat the two old friends undertook in 1991 in a remote part of the island of Hawaii. Their aim was to approach the dialogue between Buddhism and Christianity in a fresh way, one that takes as its starting point a comparison of the personal experiences of the dialoguers—as a Buddhist and as a Christian, respectively—rather than abstract concepts. The result is the discovery of a surprising amount of common ground—the kind of shared experience that forms a solid foundation for further dialogue.
