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.

The secrets in breaking loose from the grip of your established thought process, to unleash the wave of creativity striving to express itself within.

And this book includes the details of Cameron's own writing processes when creating her best selling books, which include the phenomenal and world famous The Artist's Way and Vein of Gold. For those jumping into the writing life for the first time and for those already living it, the art of writing will never be the same after reading this book. Provocative, thoughtful and exciting, you'll return to it again and again as you seek to liberate and cultivate the writer residing within you.

Download or read book A Mango Tree in the Courtyard written by Shweta Gour and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-29 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As a kid, my mind would never wonder about stars, space, and universe, but when it came to people, my curiosity would suddenly blossom into a plant from a sleeping seed in the back of the brain."The above lines from the story "A Tribute" from this collection aptly summarize me as a kid, as an adult, and as a writer. When looked carefully, I found that people who brush past us daily and the trees and plants who stand and wait, offer a fitting opportunity like books to contemplate on various facets of life. Then, there are some special people and trees providing unique and extraordinary experiences worth putting in a book. The stories have recollections, humor, irony, nostalgia, and old acquaintances with a fresh perspective. Some inspirations have been drawn from my life's journey and would resonate with your world as well. "A Mango Tree in the Courtyard," "Reunion" and "Once Upon A Time" would take you on the wild, rough roads of childhood playing hopscotch or lazing around in the company of grandparents. "A Dream in a Dream" is an ode to nature. The story: "A Tribute" has an old, benevolent acquaintance and "The lost Ring" is laced with humor. The stories are presented to you wrapped in some hard facts sprinkled with some glitter of fiction. The second set of stories: "On the Darker Side," are thrillers manifesting in ordinary situations around ordinary people. I Don't intend to scare you but the characters would make you relook at your folks in a peculiar fashion!. Half of the stories in the collection have women as a central character which I did not realize until I penned them, and I am glad I did. The unsure wish of childhood started materializing six months ago when I closed all other options only to let in the ideas. To my surprise, ideas did accept the invitation and started visiting me more and more as I showed up every single day ready to receive them. My dear readers, I am placing my produce into your hands: something I cultivated toiling behind a screen for hours since the last six months. The array of memories and emotions revealed through the daily people in ordinary situations are something that you would love to soak in after braving the traffic and challenges of present times. Every reader, after all, was once a child!

Download or read book Forgiveness written by Iyanla Vanzant and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many of us feel trapped in stagnant romantic, family, or workplace relationships. Weighed down by toxic thoughts and emotions, we might be quick to judge and slow to pardon, and self-righteous about our feelings as we dwell on memories of what we or others did (or failed to do). In this tradepaper edition, Iyanla Vanzant challenges us to liberate ourselves from the wounds of the past and to embrace the new power of forgiveness. With Iyanla’s 21-Day Forgiveness Plan, you’ll explore relationship dynamics with your parents, children, friends, partners, co-workers, bosses, yourself, and even God. With journaling work and Emotional Freedom Techniques (also known as "tapping"), you’ll learn to live with more love; gain new clarity on your life, lessons, and blessings; and discover a new level of personal freedom, peace, and well-being. Forgiveness doesn’t mean agreeing with, condoning, or even liking what has happened. Forgiveness means letting go and knowing that—regardless of how challenging, frightening, or difficult an experience may seem—everything is just as it needs to be in order for you to grow and learn. When you focus on how things "should" be, you deny the presence and power of love. Accept the events of the past, while being willing to change your perspective on them. As Iyanla says, "Only forgiveness can liberate minds and hearts once held captive by anger, bitterness, resentment, and fear. Forgiveness is a true path to freedom that can renew faith, build trust, and nourish the soul."

Book excerpt: In the course of their 20+-year engineering careers, authors Brian Fitzpatrick and Ben Collins-Sussman have picked up a treasure trove of wisdom and anecdotes about how successful teams work together. Their conclusion? Even among people who have spent decades learning the technical side of their jobs, most haven’t really focused on the human component. Learning to collaborate is just as important to success. If you invest in the "soft skills" of your job, you can have a much greater impact for the same amount of effort. The authors share their insights on how to lead a team effectively, navigate an organization, and build a healthy relationship with the users of your software. This is valuable information from two respected software engineers whose popular series of talks—including "Working with Poisonous People"—has attracted hundreds of thousands of followers.
