Book Description

“Whispers of Joy and Windows of Healing” - Poetry that uplifts the spirit!. Each of the poems in this book has a life of it’s own. Most of them have been a vehicle of healing at some point for the author herself - times when she was stuck, sad, or needing additional clarity. Some of the poems are light and uplifting - like dewdrops infused with sunlight. Others are heavy and reflective, they might even draw your attention to your own problems and pain. However, even as these poems lead you to connect with your pain, they will crack open a tiny window - to let in just enough light and perspective for the healing to begin. These poems are easy to read and yet they are profound in the insights and clarity that they can gift to you. Each poem is a unique contribution by itself and the recommended way to read this book would be to read one poem in a day. You could even hold the book in your hands, close your eyes for a minute, and ask the universe to lead you to the page that will create the most magic for you on that day. Allow the words of the poem to simmer in you and let it bring up for you whatever is needed for your own journey.

Book Description

Hey, you. Are you debating whether to destroy something with your bare hands or curl up on the couch for a decade or two? This book will solve all of your problems. (Sheesh, that's aiming a bit high.) This book is a cup of hot coffee, a ginormous bar of chocolate, or the magical fairy that comes over and does your dishes while you lie in the fetal position clutching a fluffy pillow. Sometimes when life falls apart the only acceptable response is hysterical laughter. When things get so far gone, so spectacularly a world away from any plans you made or dreams you dreamed, you feel it bubbling up inside of you and you scream, "It's not fair!" And it isn't. Fair is an illusion, and life is weird. This book will help you laugh at life's absurd backhands. This book is an empathetic groan of our collective unfairnesses. You might want to throw it across the room, and you might want to hug it like your new best friend. This book is about us sitting down together in our shared mess, taking a deep breath, gripping hands, looking the hard stuff in its beady little eyeballs, and bahahahaaing at it. Life's not fair, but we can learn to love this life we didn't choose.

Book Description

The spiritual/intellectual distance Roe falls below a Gandhi, a M.L. King, or many other symbolic persons is painfully obvious in her writing (we suppose Andy Meisler could write better but chose to retain the country flavor--or flatness). An un-heroic account of a very common lady swept along by outside forces. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Description

The book you are about to read is a collection of posts, which have been published on the Internet, and elsewhere, under the name of "Channeled Messages of High Frequencies by RZ". The messages are channelled from what is often referred to, as the "higher self (selves) and "the all knowing self". Channelling is a natural and inborn state of being, where there is a flawless communication between the physical and non-physical realities, which ultimately are your own undivided self. It is a very pleasant and relaxed state of being, where there is only love, peace, certainty, inclusion and a free flow of information about just anything that is relevant for one's experience.

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.
