Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost 10 years every waking moment of Jennifer's life was a nightmare. This is her story Jennifer didn't hold up a sign asking to be lured into a cult, instead, she followed in the footsteps of everyone she loved and trusted. Family members had joined the group before she did. Her hunger for approval from a father figure completed her fall into the control of a seemingly kind and charismatic cult leader who turned into an abusive tyrant. He told her how to live, think and even how to pray, and nearly stole her soul. But even he could not prevent her eventual awakening to God\'s Light and love breaking into her utter darkness through surprising people and circumstances. Pushing Back the Darkness is a gripping read you won\'t be able to put down. It goes beyond Jennifer\'s personal story to explain cult dynamics, to help you identify harmful groups, and gives real-world advice and resources for helping someone exit a spiritually damaging group. Bonus Features include: Warning signs of abusive groups/cults, how mind control works, tips for recovering from a cult experience, how to cult proof yourself or someone you love and much more.

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.
