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 Center for Disease Control estimates that there is a death by suicide in the United States every thirteen minutes. According to the World Health Organization there is one death by suicide every 40 seconds worldwide. Staggering statistics that begs to ask the question, "Why?" Loving The Self Affirmations Volume 2 is a book that has been written by an author who understands the answer to this intriguing question. Her personal experience with emotional abuse, suicidal thoughts, and depression enhances her ability to speak to a readers soul in a way that only a person who has known the bottomless pits of despair can relate to. As an author, Romano has penned a book that seems to speak a secret language that lost souls can understand, and appreciate. Loving The Self Affirmations Volume 2 speaks to what Romano believes is at the root cause of many suicides; self alienation, and self-condemnation. Through her personal as well as professional experience as a sought after international Life Coach, Romano has discovered that without sufficient, proper external validation and nurturing from caretakers, children tend to grow up feeling disconnected from their own internal realities. Consistently being ignored, abused, neglected or treated with indifference creates dysfunctional programming within the child's impressionable mind. Unchecked, data received from the outside causes the child to perceive his/her own Self as unworthy, and not good enough. Loving The Self Affirmations Volume 2 speaks directly to the perceptions that are responsible for the childhood programs that are unconsciously running the persons adult life. Brilliantly crafted, Romano has found a way to help people detach from their negative thoughts about Self for the purpose of being able to comprehend the possibility of changing those programs. In addition, at the heart of every affirmation is the message, "You are enough, and always were, even if those you loved were unable to love you the way you

NOW WITH A NEW CHAPTER AND AN UPDATED RESOURCES SECTION Suicide has touched the lives of nearly half of all Americans, yet it is rarely talked about openly. In her highly acclaimed book, Susan Blauner—a survivor of multiple suicide attempts—offers guidance and hope for those contemplating ending their lives and for their loved ones. “Each word written with thoughtful intent; each story told with the deepest of honesty and humility, and in doing so Blauner puts forward a life-saving book."—Daniel J. Reidenberg, PsyD, Executive Director, Suicide Awareness Voices of Education (www.save.org) “I continued to romanticize my death by suicide: who would find me; what I’d look like. I spent hundreds of hours planning my funeral, imagining the remorse of my family and friends. I wrote good-bye letters, composed wills, and disrupted the lives of everyone close to me. Then reality hit.”—Susan Rose Blauner The statistics on suicide are staggering. The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 800,000 people die by suicide every year, which is one person every 40 seconds, and for each completed suicide there may be twenty or more attempts. In How I Stayed Alive When My Brain Was Trying to Kill Me, Susan Blauner is the perfect emissary for a message of hope and a program of action for these millions of people. A survivor of multiple suicide attempts, she explains the complex feelings and fantasies that surround suicidal thoughts. In a direct, nonjudgmental, and loving voice, she offers affirmations and suggestions for those experiencing life-ending thoughts, and for their friends and family. With an introduction by Bernie Siegel, M.D., this important, timely book has now been updated with a revised resources section, and a new chapter on the author’s experiences since the book’s initial publication.
