Ty Williams—uncomfortably-attractive and overly-protective—may never fully accept that his partner has a literal inner demon.

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.

Book excerpt: A woman he hates. A man she hates more. An unwanted child. And a man who tries to take it all away with one signature. As soon as Zack Walters walked into that sticky bar, I knew he couldn’t put a sentence together without effort. To my surprise, I’ve learned that he’s not a man of many words. His actions speak much louder. He didn’t know what he was getting into when he mixed with me. Truth is, I didn’t know, either. That’s been my life. A laundry list of troubles isn’t what anyone wants, especially when it comes to one pint-sized person. It isn’t what I signed up for. It isn’t what Zack signed up for, either. But most important, it isn’t what a child should have to go through alone. She’s silver-tongued, audacious, and a huge pain in my ass. But I was raised to help when help’s needed. It’s what I do. She thinks I’m a fool, and sometimes I believe her, but falling in love twice in the same week doesn’t prove anyone wrong, least of all me. Despite the alarm bells going off all over, I can’t stay away from these girls, and one of them won’t let me leave. I just wish there were more guarantees. My brothers think that he’ll take her away, and if he doesn’t, with Kate’s troubles, something else might. It’s like a Euchre game. I just hope that my heart can trump their spades. …little do I know that the Euchre game is going to be trumped by a blast going off on the day that my brother says his vows.
