Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life is a book about learning to improve your love life. After 30 years of clinical research and treatment of patients with unhealthy love lives, I now recognize that most people are not in control of their love lives. Why? Because most people don't know what they've learned about and from the love relationships in the course of their lives. Love relationships that started in their families of origin the moment they were born. If you don't know what you've learned about love relationships, then what you've learned is in control of your love life, healthy or unhealthy. If what you've learned was healthy, no problem. Chances are you'll simply replicate what you've learned about love relationships. If what you've learned was unhealthy, you could be unwittingly making the same love life mistakes over and over again because of what you've learned. Learn to Love will show you how to identify what you've learned about love relationships, how to unlearn what is unhealthy, and practice something new, healthy, and the opposite of what you've learned, now as a corrective in your adult love life. This simple learning formulate has helped many of my patients begin taking control of their own love lives, as well as helping me improve my own love life. Learn to Love will help you learn how to take control of your love life. Dr. Thomas Jordan

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 book is a collection of different lessons that people can go through such as going through losses. There are many examples of the deep-seated dysfunctional habits that we all hold close to our hearts and how we overcome adversity. There are lots of joy in the different ways God comes through to us as He pries us away from these terrible habits. These enlightening words may be familiar to you as you experience your different lessons in life but still allows you to be able to relate to others. These lessons that are taught are through different avenues, but we all come out with the same positive outcome. We all go through many different lessons but are part of one body of Christ as we are learning similar traits to be closer to God. This shows how it's a learning process, always progressing into new territory as we each are learning at our own rate and have different tests that we are going through. We learn to be close to others as we go through our unique lessons. We become more positive in God's ways together. God has put us through the lessons that bring out the best in each person. This book has expressed what brought a magnitude of lessons to us that brings such success in the great change in our attitudes. Otherwise, without them, we would never been taught about the greatest gifts ever that comes from God. It shows the powerful lessons that we as individuals can learn from as we trudge along and go through our ups and downs that God so delicately planted into our lives. God is the most magnificent being that created each individual to become mature through His ingenious purpose He has for us. He allows us to meet others at just the right time and place that can bring us the greatest lessons in relating with others. This will teach us the most as we are searching dearly for our soul's purpose. I believe this a great eye-opener for those searching for answers as we are finding the answers that are so deep in our hearts. God has the true path through our lives that allow us the strong and wise choices that we need to make. That keeps us from falling again once we learn the lessons deep in our heart. It shows the great joy that we go through as we learn these great lessons.
