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.

Book Description
To get the best answer-in business, in life-you have to ask the best possible question. Innovation expert Warren Berger shows that ability is both an art and a science. It may be the most underappreciated tool at our disposal, one we learn to use well in infancy-and then abandon as we grow older. Critical to learning, innovation, success, even to happiness-yet often discouraged in our schools and workplaces-it can unlock new business opportunities and reinvent industries, spark creative insights at many levels, and provide a transformative new outlook on life. It is the ability to question-and to do so deeply, imaginatively, and “beautifully.” In this fascinating exploration of the surprising power of questioning, innovation expert Warren Berger reveals that powerhouse businesses like Google, Nike, and Netflix, as well as hot Silicon Valley startups like Pandora and Airbnb, are fueled by the ability to ask fundamental, game-changing questions. But Berger also shares human stories of people using questioning to solve everyday problems-from “How can I adapt my career in a time of constant change?” to “How can I step back from the daily rush and figure out what really makes me happy?” By showing how to approach questioning with an open, curious mind and a willingness to work through a series of “Why,” “What if,” and “How” queries, Berger offers an inspiring framework of how we can all arrive at better solutions, fresh possibilities, and greater success in business and life.

All of Heaven knows how badly she botched her first job. So when the Almighty gives her a new job—one in Sin City—no one is more surprised than she. Ira, Sin of Wrath, requires only a drink, a cigarette and a warm girl to keep him happy—which makes his new Vegas assignment a very welcome trip. Ira might be there to work, but that hardly means he won’t find time to play… And when he spies a gorgeous blonde wandering through a casino, he knows she’ll make the perfect playmate. Until, of course, he discovers she’s off limits—not to mention, the enemy. The strain between Heaven and Hell intensifies by the day, as does Ira’s struggle to keep his hands off Cassie’s chastity. With a job to do, and a Virtue stretching Ira’s ability to control his devil-born lust, maintaining priorities has never been harder. And, Ira discovers, come Heaven or Hell, he’s just waiting for an excuse to show Cassie how good being bad can be. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Buffy meets Good Omens.

Brianna Walters loves her home in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Spending time in the misty giants is a coping mechanism since her beloved husband Grant died in a plane crash. Four years after his death Bree is making some headway in forcing Grant’s memories into the recesses of her mind rather than the forefront of her heart. Her faith has become a distant memory as well. No man can replace Grant, so she focuses her energy into running her company. Vic Andrews storms into her present and is charming his way into her future. Vic’s personality is Grant’s opposite, but in looks, he has so many similar characteristics that Bree struggles to keep the two separated in her mind. Vic’s love for the Smokies matches Bree’s and makes him even harder to resist. Now another company wants to initiate a merger with hers and the owner is pushing, but elusive. Bree has sensations of being followed; sensations that materialize into two actual attacks leaving her feeling vulnerable and suspicious of Vic. Can she repair her relationship with God while dealing with the turmoil that enters her life with Vic? Will Vic’s demands that she erase her late husband’s memories and start a life with him drive a wedge between the two? Most importantly, can Bree make a decision before Vic is taken out of her life as Grant had been; on a very permanent basis?

'Diamonds in the rough are cowboys of vitality who have displayed the inborn chevalier of honor and respect (unwritten code of the West), cowboys who are born with the God-given ability of awareness, positioning, and timing, who have been tried and tested in the fire of time and are ascribed the title of being a hand by other old-time, cowboys. Every diamond in the rough has certain characteristics within his character that set him apart as a cut above the average. Younger cowboys, who have grown up under the influence of older cowboys, are not taught the common sense or good manners. These traits are expected to be lived out in every cowboy.' Just what makes a cowboy A Diamond in the Rough? Lloyd Perry can tell you because he is one. Lloyd has lived life by the code of the Old West and spent his days cowboying around. In this entertaining and meaningful glimpse into the cowboy way of life, Lloyd shares tales of hunting, training dogs, cowboy work, ironic incidents, and lessons that apply to any walk of life. Through it all, glory is given to God for His provision. One of Lloyd's daughters said to him, 'Dad, I've come to realize I don't know you. None of your family knows you. I don't believe anyone really knows you.' From that, this intimate, inspirational memoir came to be. Sit down for a spell with a strong pot of coffee, for you'll be caught up in these tales from start to finish. You'll love this gem of a book, A Diamond in the Rough.
