Today you made another step towards you and your Christian soul. I embrace you with much warmth and admiration that you are here and that you had the curiosity! What does Christian faith mean to be you?! To live. To suffer. To love. To be disappointed. To be happy. To laugh. To cry. To feel. To have faith. To feel and have faith with all your heart in what you belive and think, to do what you feel. This Christian healing book delves into the negative and down-right devastating events that occur in our lives that break our faithfulness hearts and trample our spirits, but it won't be human-made wisdom pellets being handed out here.This is a christian journey to find God in the midst of our sorrow. We will take a walk in the shoes of Job, a man who suffered devastating losses simultaneously, but never once stopped giving God praise and glory. We will look at why sometimes we just don't understand God in the midst of our tribulations but how to trust Him anyway. We will explore what the Bible says about how to deal with emotions, recognizing the toxic people in our lives and how to show them the exit sign, finding freedom by letting go of past hurt and disappointment, and discovering how to grow through and from your pain.I have been through my share of disappointments and devastations, but I wouldn't have come out on the other side without a faithful Father to see me through. He has shown me His promises that continually prove His love and divine will, and He has shown me how to find my purpose in pain. He wants you to find His promises and His purpose for your life, too.When standing on the other end of the most difficult times in our lives, you can be sure that God will use those experiences as teachable moments somewhere down the road. The lessons that each of us learns might not be the same, but God will often give insight on how a particular circumstance in our past is helping to shape our future and how it might help shape someone else's as well. There is great power in testimony, so if we are able to share the testimony of how God transformed our lives despite walking through dark and challenging times, it could inspire or give hope to someone else who is still in the thick of their own hardship. Even though my own personal losses and tragedies were a time when my faith suffered the most, I can look back now to see that God's faithfulness never wavered. I'm sure my book will guide you through your spiritual life and your christian path.

A powerful guide to owning our emotions—even the difficult ones—in order to show up authentically in the world, from the popular therapist behind the Instagram account @sitwithwhit. Every day, we’re bombarded with pressure to be positive. From “good vibes only” and “life is good” memes, to endless reminders to “look on the bright side,” we’re constantly told that the key to happiness is silencing negativity wherever it crops up—in ourselves and in others. Even when faced with illness, loss, breakups, and other challenges, there’s little space for talking about our real feelings—and processing them so that we can feel better and move forward. But if non-stop positivity is the answer, why are so many of us anxious, depressed, and burned out? In this refreshingly honest guide, sought-after therapist Whitney Goodman shares the latest research along with everyday examples and client stories that reveal how damaging toxic positivity is to ourselves and our relationships, and presents simple ways to experience and work through difficult emotions. The result is more authenticity, connection, and growth—and ultimately, a path to showing up as you truly are.
