The Ghost of the Mistreated Canines: Life after Margaret


Book Description

It seemed like every able body from within a hundred-mile radius showed up for Margaret’s funeral. Neither the funeral home nor the reception hall was large enough to hold the group all at one time. Even with the loss of her partner and best friend, Star managed to keep the clinic and turned away no animal in need. She knew that’s how Margaret would have wanted it. Although Kate’s decision to become a veterinarian was a struggle, she did attend college and did her best to follow in her mother’s footstep. Eventually, she became a full partner in the clinic. With the agreement with the staff, the name of the clinic was changed. The sleigh that Michael built was eventually brought out again, and for one special reason, Michael felt a warm and tender caring touch from Star. Michael survived a severe heart attack. While he was in the hospital, without realizing what she had agreed to and not knowing that Michael realized what he was saying, Star agreed to take a trip with Michael to the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming. One evening while at the kitchen table, Harold and Kate sat in discussion and wondered if Michael and Star would return as a married couple.

The Ghosts of the Mistreated Canines


Book Description

Margaret is being torn apart. Her father and brothers are cruel to her pets—Mack, Red, and Pretty Girl, and they treat her with the same cold-heartedness. Her mother understands her love and affection toward the abused pets, but most of the time, she is unable to protect Margaret and her pets from the harsh treatment. Margaret is only happy when she is with her grandparents, who share her love and affection for pets. One summer vacation, Margaret stayed at her grandparents’ farm and made lasting friendship with another dog named Hobo. But on that summer too, Margaret’s grandpa died, adding to the mounting pain in the little girl’s heart. Due to her father’s indifference toward her dogs, Margaret’s pets died one after another, either due to extreme heat or extreme cold. For many nights, Margaret would see ghostly apparitions of the dogs as she mourned for their loss. Though she wasn’t scared, she never understood why. The Ghost of the Mistreated Canines refreshes our understanding of true love—the kind of love that Margaret shows toward her canine friends, who cannot pay her with material gifts but give her everlasting joy and friendship.

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.
