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 Meant To Be written by Margaret J. McLaren and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From ivory towers to fields of flowers, Meant To Be is the remarkable true story of a professional scientist who overcomes the difficulties in her life with the help of faith, and the benevolent Creator God. This is the twelve-year spiritual awakening of a disheartened scientist who renounces the world of left-brain logic to find truth that is stranger than fiction: coincidences, angelic guidance, and spiritual capabilities known as the "clairs." McLaren walked away from an unfulfilling life with a burning, unanswered question—is there proof of God? God responded resoundingly in the affirmative. McLaren takes readers into a world of magic and mystery, and the inevitable conclusion she found there: that with faith, a child's mind, and a sense of fun, a joyous and meaningful life is available for the asking. With equal measures of humour, awe, and gratitude, the author provides an earnest account of the search for a better life. Readers will come away with the tools and knowledge necessary to begin their own dialogue into what is possible when you follow a divine mission.

Download or read book Exceedingly written by Anita Agers-Brooks and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal encouragement and inspiration for finding your unique calling "Am I making a difference?" "Can I accomplish meaningful things despite the mistakes I've made?" "How can I know God's purpose for me?" As the true stories in Exceedingly demonstrate, whether famous or entirely unknown, we all struggle to find significance in our lives. But the truth is that each one of us has a special reason for being right here, right now--and we can discover exactly what that is. Anita Agers-Brooks walks through simple yet powerful strategies, skills, and exercises to do just that. Through practical application and inspiration from people like the late country music star Troy Gentry, readers will identify and hone their natural traits, raw talents, and untapped abilities. Uncovering our purpose doesn't require big personalities, perfect lives, or an issue-free past. We only have to make the effort to learn to see ourselves as God does and fulfill the personal purpose we were made for. Seekers who engage with Anita will find their quest leads to one amazing conclusion: if they unearth what they've been given and dare to believe, their Maker will do exceedingly, abundantly more with their lives than they've ever imagined.

Download or read book From DOA to a New Purpose This Book written by Kathy Mendenhall and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From DOA to a New Purpose begins with a background of who I was, leading up to the day of my stroke. Thus, the book actually begins explaining how good God was to my family as He saved my life and gave me the purpose of writing my experience that it might encourage others hearing about the trials I was able to overcome because I love Jesus and more importantly because He loves me always. Through a long series of struggles, He taught me that he was always there and that trusting Him made life easier and worth living in spite of the pain and difficulties. He enabled me to see brightness through a very dark experience. I would have given up if He had not been with me and miraculously provided the right people at all the right times. Hopefully this book will encourage those going through tough times and those that need to be used by God to encourage others.

Download or read book Eat Live Thrive Diet written by Danna Demetre and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sustainable lifestyle diet for women of faith that unravels the mystery of why we gain weight as we age and includes a practical, God-centered, science-based plan to change your habits from the inside out—from two veteran health and lifestyle coaches Eat, Live, Thrive Diet shows women how they can not only lose excess body fat permanently—before, during, and after menopause—but also improve their overall health in critical areas such as brain function, resistance to disease, slowing down external aging, and increasing energy. This highly effective plan that addresses body, soul, and spirit is presented in a compassionate voice by two experienced health coaches who share personal experiences of battling weight and emotional eating issues and how they came to celebrate lasting victory. Whereas most diets are short-lived or require substantial upkeep to maintain, Eat, Live, Thrive Diet is a cyclic and easy to follow eating plan that women can embrace indefinitely. The first phase of the plan helps women discover their carbohydrate thresholds and the specific foods holding them back from weight loss. The lifestyle phase of the plan is easily customizable to promote ongoing weight loss or maintenance. The diet is not Paleo, Keto, or low carbohydrate but rather “carbohydrate controlled” based on each woman’s personal response. The authors also emphasize the importance of getting to the root cause of unhealthy eating habits and the value of short-term intermittent fasting--a simple lifestyle change that makes it easier and more effective for many mature women to reach their health and weight loss goals. They also offer virtual coaching support through their Eat Live Thrive Academy.

Book excerpt: A Best Book of the Year: The Washington Post • Chicago Tribune • NPR • Vogue • Elle • Real Simple • InStyle • Good Housekeeping • Parade • Slate • Vox • Kirkus Reviews • Library Journal • BookPage Longlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize An Instant New York Times Bestseller A Reese's Book Club Pick "The most provocative page-turner of the year." --Entertainment Weekly "I urge you to read Such a Fun Age." --NPR A striking and surprising debut novel from an exhilarating new voice, Such a Fun Age is a page-turning and big-hearted story about race and privilege, set around a young black babysitter, her well-intentioned employer, and a surprising connection that threatens to undo them both. Alix Chamberlain is a woman who gets what she wants and has made a living, with her confidence-driven brand, showing other women how to do the same. So she is shocked when her babysitter, Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains' toddler one night, walking the aisles of their local high-end supermarket. The store's security guard, seeing a young black woman out late with a white child, accuses Emira of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers, a bystander films everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make things right. But Emira herself is aimless, broke, and wary of Alix's desire to help. At twenty-five, she is about to lose her health insurance and has no idea what to do with her life. When the video of Emira unearths someone from Alix's past, both women find themselves on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know about themselves, and each other. With empathy and piercing social commentary, Such a Fun Age explores the stickiness of transactional relationships, what it means to make someone "family," and the complicated reality of being a grown up. It is a searing debut for our times.
