I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die


Book Description

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.

Bob's Essential RV Resort Directory


Book Description

If you're looking to plan the grand trip of a lifetime, this book is for you! I have been traveling in my RV across North America full time since 2012. I was laid off from my corporate job as an accountant, and I needed a solution for living cheaply. I decided that it was more economical - and fun - to live fulltime on the road. Ever since, I have been keeping notes and records about the sort of RV parks, resorts, and campgrounds, where I have personally camped. I also asked around in my circle of other RV enthusiasts to compile the listings in this book. I decided to compound these notes into this comprehensive directory. Think of this book as a personally recommended and curated listing of RV parks, resorts, and campgrounds. I am mainly focused on how your experience would be at these locations while traveling in an RV specifically. I have not included many notes on primitive or tent camping, as all of these locations offer amenities such as electric and water hookups. Many locations in this directory do not offer tent camping sites. I have not sold any spots in this book to any of these businesses. None of them have paid to be a part of this listing. I chose the businesses to be included in this book as those places where either I personally stayed and had a great time or one of my friends in the RV community personally recommended it to me. You will notice that nearly every listing allows pets at their facility, as I know that our furry companions are very special to us, I wanted to make those listing a highlight for your vacation planning. There are also no national or state parks listed here. This is as complete a listing of private RV parks, resorts, and campgrounds as can be handpicked directly from those who are in the RV community. This is a straightforward directory listing of places to stay with your RV in the lower 48 continental United States. I have compiled the listings into their own tables, outlining the necessary qualities of each campground, including their physical address and phone numbers. The information is as current and accurate as I could possibly ensure it to be. Each table listing outlines: Street address Phone number Website (It will be clickable if you're reading the eBook version.) Operating days Price Discounts Offered Maximum width and length of the sites The total number of spaces offered Road conditions (paved, gravel, dirt) Any restrictions (for example, if they have any conditions concerning pets) A list of a few of the amenities the resort offers I have listed the campgrounds by state, and most of the states I have split into regions so you can better decide where you might stay by where you want to be in that state. AS A BONUS If you purchase the paperback version of this book, you can download the eBook version for FREE. The best thing about the eBook version is that the links to the websites of the resorts and campgrounds (if they have one listed) is hyperlinked and clickable. This could save you time when you're trying to research your vacation.

The Hired Girl


Book Description

Winner of the 2016 Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction A 2016 Association of Jewish Libraries Sydney Taylor Award Winner Winner of the 2016 National Jewish Book Award for Children’s and Young Adult Literature Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz brings her delicious wit and keen eye to early twentieth-century America in a moving yet comedic tour de force. Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. But what hope is there for adventure, beauty, or art on a hardscrabble farm in Pennsylvania where the work never ends? Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart out into her diary as she seeks a new, better life for herself—because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of—a woman with a future. Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz relates Joan’s journey from the muck of the chicken coop to the comforts of a society household in Baltimore (Electricity! Carpet sweepers! Sending out the laundry!), taking readers on an exploration of feminism and housework; religion and literature; love and loyalty; cats, hats, and bunions.
