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 author explores dozens of scriptural passages from the psalms, offering personal ideas and insights and sharing his testimony that "no matter what the trouble and trial of the day may be, we start and finish with the eternal truth that God is for us."--
"I Found God In Hollywood", is a collection of 98% true stories, that are charged, and intended to be humorous. However, if the lucky reader finds that they learn something about themselves, or have a spiritual epiphany, then I guess that would be a good thing. This is an autobiographical book of funny stories, from the perspective of a musician, and pot head who goes to Hollywood to find fame and fortune and ends up with a spiritual awakening. Go figure. Sometimes God has a better plan than we do. The book is organized into four sections. The first is a collection of 8 stories from High School. You know High School was, a lot of stress, and fun, and trouble, and big changes. My time in High School was during 1978 through 1982. The end of the 70's and the beginning of the 80's. What's so great about High School stories? Nothing really, if you had a boring, safe life. Everything, if you were me. Read on and see for yourself. The next obvious section is about college life. Boston was a great time to go to school in the 80's. Lots of good material there. But don't take my word for it. Read it and find out for yourself! After college came, you guessed it: Hollywood! Wouldn't that be a logical choice if you were a musician and pot head? Yup. Hollywood had hot chicks, great music scene, and good weed. Little did our humble here know what would happen next. Lastly, the fourth section is about Hollywood AFTER, Cliff gets sober. A much different reality, let me tell you. If you think Hollywood was psychedelic ON drugs, just imagine what its like SOBER! Much more trippy of a scene. Trust me on that one. So, this book is a collection of whacky, funny, rock n roll, stoner stories that have meaning, depth and dare I say profound spiritual implications. You don't have to go to Tibet and sit with the Dali Lama to find the mysteries of the Universe. Because quite frankly, NO ONE knows the mysteries of the Universe, including me. But, the bottom line is this: if you are interested in truth, honesty, integrity, virtue, prudence, humility...then, you can find that where ever you are. It just strikes me as a little odd, and interesting, that I just happened to have found God In Hollywood! One more thing, the illustrations in the book are really funny too. I think the illustrations are sort of a cross between Salvador Dali, Picasso, and Mad Magazine.
Her parents called her Alayna Bug because the decorations in her nursery were covered in lady bugs. But God had different plans for her first nursery. Streets of gold, pearly gates, and angels suited her better. Praise & Pray is the story of a tiny little girl and a great big God. Born one pound, twelve ounces, Alayna Taylor lived her entire life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Through their daily blog posts, Alayna's parents expressed their faith throughout the ninety-nine-day journey, encouraging their followers to not only pray for things but to also praise God throughout the process. The journey inspired her father to share her story and his faith. Whether you're interested in the narrative, have questions about eternity for children, or wonder how to comfort someone that has lost a child, Praise & Pray will help you navigate those challenging waters. Alayna's story will encourage you to diversify your faith portfolio with two equally important investments: praise and prayer!

This story is about a woman who suffers from bipolar / manic depressive disorder. The book takes you through her tormented childhood with a stressful life. The author uses music to write, and the words are some of the greatest lyrics ever written. The character portrayed is a real-life woman, who is threatened with permanent hospitalization and fights to come back to reality. She has had many lovers, but the one who means the most is someone who has recently died of cancer. The story depicts her feelings about his death and the fact that she believes he is guiding her to write this novel. Michael Jackson and the character of her lover died within two weeks of each other. The author uses many of Michael Jacksons songs to write, as well as Frank Sinatras. The book is like a tug-of-war between the author and the family of a very talented woman. The author has been writing since the age of seven but does not publish a single thing until she is 72. You must read the book carefully to really understand its meaning. The author uses music to express her innermost thoughts. She is a good Catholic, who had fallen away, and she comes back for Gods help.
