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 Sweetie Candy Vigilante Vol 2 3 written by Suzanne Cafiero and published by Dynamite Entertainment. This book was released on 2024-06-26 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Pixie questioning a life of candy carnage? Are things all GOOD with Sweetie’s resident ninjette? Is she acting BAD in the name of GOOD? What’s really on her mind as she gazes into the halo of the Strawberry Ice Moon deep in thought? Moonlight on that and more will be shed… Sweetie calls a company SWEET MEET to update Candy Wolf, Pixie, Hansel and Gretel, Peter Cottontail, Jack Rabbit, and Honey B. (with Gummee Bear and Tinsel joining on video conference), about the GOOD news that business is growing faster than imagined, and plans for the “Fortress of Sweetness” are nearing completion. That’s just Hatchy Milatchy! Soon, the entire world will know the name Sweetie Candy Vigilante! Also on the agenda, and topping Sweetie’s NAUGHTY LIST, is salty nemesis Bart Volgare. Still reeling from the “Sugartown Showdown,” he confides to his girlfriend that Sweetie’s “fairy tale wash-ups” (as he calls them) wiped out his entire A-Team, leaving him and his now disfigured henchman SUV as the sole survivors. SUV is literally speechless and scarred with a twisted grin on his face, unable to mutter a single word. He’s seen some s**t! Turn out Bart’s main squeeze is a high-profile member of the news media, and he’s got a scheme to expose Sweetie on live TV for being more than what she may appear to be on her sugary surface. Tales of bullet-eating ice-crystal skulls made from magical snow, exploding jellybeans and grenade easter eggs leave his sanity, or at least his sobriety, in question. The NYPD learns two mysterious uninhabited islands, long since considered abandoned and dangerous, and within eyeshot of NYC’s notorious jail on Rikers Island, have recently been purchased from the city by a “private buyer.” Well, well — isn’t that NICE!? THIS ISSUE IS DANDY AS CANDY… DON’T MISS IT!

Download or read book A Time For Soldiers A Civil War Journey Volume 1 written by James Edwards Jr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today is May 1, 1917. Word has just come to me that several local boys have been drafted to fight the war in Europe. This one is called "The Great War." It's been raging since August 1914. President Wilson asked the Congress for a declaration of war last month. He got it. Hundreds of thousands have died already. Now, many of our own good boys will die. War is a chronic condition, and stupid. I was that young when I first went off to war, fifty-seven years ago. I was twenty-one, about the same age as these kids. I had no idea that I was entering my own personal season in hell when I joined up with a New York volunteer regiment. These young men are about to march off to another war, another cause. Many will die uselessly on torn-up battlefields that nobody will remember except the men who fight there. I still see those faces in the distance, on a hillside at a place called Gettysburg. I see myself, young, but no longer a boy. My innocence was a façade. War is butchery, and I experienced it close-up. I was part of a monster, trained to overwhelm and destroy my enemy, my brother. By the end of the war, I was good at it. It fit me well. I was a seasoned veteran. Killing had become second nature. Experience being the best teacher, I learned well. In April 1865, I knew what I was. The question had become, what was I going to be? The thought once occurred to me that maybe I should not have survived the war, that war should devour its own and leave the remnant in peace.
