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.




P.S. Pray the Same for Me


Book Description

There is a heart and a soul in this book that breathes in ancient harmony with rhythms past. In P.S. Pray the Same for Me, Marquita Smith reaches back into her roots to draw prayers that speak simply yet brilliantly to everyday events in our lives. She speaks with a subtlety that is disarming, a simplicity that belies sacred wisdom lovingly and graciously culled from generations before her. She asks in return that theythat wereciprocate, simply by offering our own prayers in return. By doing so, she says, we free ourselves, from old programming and thought patterns, connecting to our past so that we can begin to live, and thrive, in the present. Smith captures this richness in a way that is both gentle, and yet stunningly revelatory. And revel we do. This book is nothing short of enchanting. Luminary Coaching Mary Herndon, JD, CPCC, MICP Master Integrative Coach Unfinished Business refers to wounds, beliefs and traumas that have been unresolved, in their entirety, from those who are out of our consciousness. This unfinished business gets in the way of our receiving, seeing and knowing all we desire. Dr. Guldal Caba Ph.D, NMD, NAC Inner Pathic Process Two years ago, Smith embarked on a mission to regain her sense of self, following a spiritual journey that left several questions unanswered in her life. Smith crafted a book of bespoke prayers to her female ancestors, asking to be released from her inherited baggage while simultaneously praying for their souls.
