Each page is designed not just to inform but to nurture and guide your spirit through the powerful words of Scripture. In our lives, each of us may face moments of profound struggle—whether it be anxiety, depression, addiction, or any other condition that tests our mental and emotional resilience. Often, these challenges can make us feel isolated, as if we are walking through shadows alone. However, the truth revealed through God’s Word is that no one is ever truly alone.

"Light Through the Shadows" is organized into chapters that focus on specific disorders and addictions—from anxiety and depression to alcoholism and internet addiction.

This is followed by a carefully curated selection of Bible verses that offer comfort, hope, and the promise of God’s unfailing love and strength. These Scriptures are chosen not only for their direct relevance but for their power to speak into the hearts of those who struggle, offering reassurance and a reminder of the divine support that is always available. The reflections and prayers included in each chapter aim to foster a deeper connection with God, encouraging readers to lay their burdens at His feet and find peace in His presence.

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.
