Jesus (which means ‘The LORD saves) the Christ is also named Immanuel, which means God with us. Isaiah 7:10-14, AMP ..... Listen carefully, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and she will call his name Immanuel (God with us). Matthew 1:23 Amplified Bible (AMP) “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel”—which, when translated, means, “God with us.” There are many indicators pointing to Jesus in the Old Testament scriptures. In this book, we would like to focus on just one; Immanuel. Old Testament scriptures are peppered with “Immanuel”. In the unfolding pages, we have compiled portions of the relevant scriptures for the reader to explore and savor. This is by no means exhaustive and reader is encouraged to examine the scriptures for themselves. The sole objective of the book is to whet the appetite of the reader(s) for the Word of God.
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.
