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 Fasting for Financial Breakthrough written by Elmer L. Towns and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2002-07-08 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shed a spiritual light on some of the biggest problems facing people today: the need to put the role of money in a proper perspective and to solve financial problems. Elmer Towns states at the outset that this is not the primary purpose of fasting and prayer. Instead, it is all about knowing God. It is not about withdrawing prayer on an as-needed basis from some spiritual ATM kiosk. It is about meditation, studying the Scriptures, and communing with God. When we fast and pray in faith, asking for God's help and provision, He begins to teach us how to become good stewards of what He has provided. Chapter topics include "Fasting to Learn Stewardship," "Why We Have Money Problems," and "A Faith Approach to Fasting for Money." Once we understand why we struggle with money problems, we can do something about it with this practical step-by-step guide.

Download or read book The Entitlement Cure written by John Townsend and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have anyone in your life who can't seem to stick with a project, meet a deadline, or even clean up after themselves? All of us feel we deserve special treatment sometimes. Some people live with this entitled attitude, such as: Professionals who wander from job to job looking for a boss who will see them as amazing as they consider themselves to be--whether they're productive or not Young adults who refuse to grow up and so go nowhere Spouses or dates who believe, "I'm special, and I deserve more than you're giving me" Leaders who expect special treatment because of their position, not because of their character If you have a difficult relationship with an entitled person, or if you have discovered entitlement in yourself, understand this: It doesn't have to stay this way. There is a cure. It's called the Hard Way and it works. In The Entitlement Cure, Dr. John Townsend explains that the Hard Way is a habit that focuses on doing whatever is needed even if it is difficult, uncomfortable, takes longer, and requires more energy. Dr. Townsend offers daily steps, such as risk-taking, to help you or those you love choose the Hard Way. Ultimately, entitlement fails us. We don't develop the character abilities and relationships necessary to reach success and become the people God intended us to be. By contrast, Hard Way people have better relationships, reach their goals, have a clear job direction, enjoy rich spiritual growth, and are equipped to face and solve challenges. As Dr. Townsend writes, "Stand against entitlement in every form in which it manifests itself. Resolve your own tendencies toward the disease. Be a loving and firm force for helping those in its trap to find life and hope. And you will make the world a better place." Discover why the Hard Way is the best way in this practical guide to true success.

Download or read book Spiritual Warfare and Missions written by Jerry Rankin and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of God to “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19, HCSB) is a major target of spiritual warfare today. In this new book by International Mission Board president Jerry Rankin and noted missiologist Ed Stetzer, the authors call out Satan’s ongoing strategy to convince Christians that the Great Commission is optional. Through deceit, he is eroding the authoritative mandate of Scripture, leading believers to tell themselves that international discipleship is a task better left to denomination and mission agencies—not the sort of kingdom work that every believer can do. But for every evil success, Rankin and Stetzer point to where Satan is failing, thus encouraging readers to renew their passion to declare God’s glory among the nations. Indeed, by taking up the call to action here, we can be sure that the kingdoms of the world will become the kingdom of the Lord.

He rescues me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.’’ Psalm 55:16-18. Praying prophetically by the power of declarations is the best way to take charge of your day, week, month and the year. Every great man has a secret and that secret is called the key. The key is a very small instrument with extraordinary power and influence, the one who has the key to the car controls the speed of the car. The key to your blessing is your mouth. The word of God once declared in faith can frame your world and it becomes a world of power, wealth, favor and success. There is a lot of power in your tongue. Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those who love it will eat its fruit (Proverbs 18:21). The miracles are in your mouth; so, declare God’s word consistently and on daily basis too. Praying prophetically by the power of declaration, in the morning, afternoon and night is a top secret to win the battles of each day and accomplished your vision, mission, goals, and assignments for the day and the week. Prophetic declarations are bold and clear. They are not suggestions neither are they confessions. Kings are those who make decrees and declarations because they rule. You are a king (Revelations 5:10). So declare and release the power for the miraculous in your life, every morning, afternoon and evening before you sleep and you will have ceaseless victory, breakthroughs, and blessing on a daily basis. “Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, what doest thou?” Ecclesiastes 8:4 Shout it loud, prophesy it, announce it, demand it, decree it, declare it, because you are a king, and the Almighty God will back you up! Now, you have an instrument in your hands to live with, you have no excuse for a failure again. I know some lives issues will not yield to pampering nor bother about secret weeping; rather they listen to heartfelt prayer with an open declaration. The prophetic declaration prayers in this book, have been divided into three segments on daily basis; morning, afternoon and night for your daily victories and breakthroughs. This is a must book for every believer. Get your copy now! This is your season of victory and favor, in Jesus powerful name! Amen!! Please note that for these prayers to work for you, the following procedures have to be put in place: You must be genuinely born again. You must walk in Holiness. Be an exemplary believer in love, word, action, and conversation as well as in purity (1Tim 4:12). Do not defile your body. For, it is the temple of God. You must be a faithful tither and cheerful giver. Remain blessed, in Jesus Name. Amen!

Download or read book The Crucifixion written by Fleming Rutledge and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few treatments of the death of Jesus Christ have made a point of accounting for the gruesome, degrading, public manner of his death by crucifixion, a mode of execution so loathsome that the ancient Romans never spoke of it in polite society. Rutledge probes all the various themes and motifs used by the New Testament evangelists and apostolic writers to explain the meaning of the cross of Christ. She shows how each of the biblical themes contributes to the whole, with the Christus Victor motif and the concept of substitution sharing pride of place along with Irenaeus's recapitulation model.
