Do you feel overwhelmed at the thought of losing weight? Have you wished that you could find a diet and exercise program that would work for you? Have you ever imagined not as much of yourself? Nathan and Tammy Whisnant were once there themselves-overweight, exhausted, and unable to enjoy their grandchildren. But one day, the Holy Spirit convicted them of their need to be the best version of themselves, and together Nathan and Tammy have now lost nearly a hundred pounds. After working off the weight themselves, the Whisnants decided to share their secret to success with others, and Imagine Not as Much was born. Imagine Not as Much focuses on four fitness aspects: nutritional: learn how to set goals, set your calorie intake, identify what types of food to eat, along with when and how to eat them; physical: learn the different types of activities and choose the ones best for you; motivational: receive encouragement to set your mind to this lifestyle change and to conquer road blocks that you may face; and spiritual: learn how to begin a relationship with Jesus and ways you can deepen that relationship. Including daily devotions by Nathan and Tammy's tidbits, Imagine Not As Much encourages a healthy mind, body, and soul.

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.

Known in early modern Europe by many names – the French Disease, the Bubas, and, eventually, syphilis – the Great Pox was a chronic disease that carried the stigma of sexuality and produced a slow and painful death. The main institution which treated it, the pox hospital, has come down to us as a stench-filled and overcrowded place that sought to treat the body and reform the soul. Using the sole surviving admissions book for Toledo, Spain’s Hospital de Santiago, Cristian Berco reconstructs the lives of men and women afflicted with the pox by tracing their experiences before, during, and after their hospitalization. Through an innovative combination of medical, institutional, and notarial sources, he explores the physical and social lives of the patients. What were the social repercussions of living with a shameful disease? What did living with this chronic illness mean for careers and networks, love and families, and everyday relationships? From Body to Community is a textured analysis at once touched by the illness but not solely defined by it.

Conventional wisdom has always held that when we help others, some of the good we do flows back to us. That satisfaction has always been thought to be largely emotional—feeling good when you do good. Now important, widely discussed research shows that helping others regularly produces significant health benefits as well—in fact, it has effects similar to those many of us experience when we exercise. It is almost impossible to read this book without wanting to do good. Both for those who are already volunteering and for those who are considering it, this valuable personal guide tells you how to choose an activity that’s right for you, how to maximize the health benefits, and how to overcome the main obstacle to getting started: lack of time. The Healing Power of Doing Good reaffirms and explains that when we care for others we care for ourselves. It is an important book for those suffering from chronic health problems as well as the health conscious, anyone interested in how our mind affects our body, and people in the helping professions. And it reminds us that never has there been such a need for caring as there is today.

“When however, worldliness is transmuted into Spiritual Integrity he is free, even though he still dwells physically among world things.” -Manly P. Hall There appears to be a rise in spirituality in the USA. All you have to do is go to your nearest book store or flip through magazines to document the rapidly rising interest in spirituality. But what is spirituality? For most people, spirituality or faith believes in something larger than yourself. And faith isn’t restricted to those who belong to an organized or traditional faith. What if you are not part of an organized or tradition? That doesn’t mean that you are not spiritual or you don’t believe in God. People often use the word “spirituality” interchangeably with religion, but the terms are not the same. Religion has more to do with following the specific practices and dictates of an institution. Spirituality is more personal and encompasses your relationship with others and your creator. In this guide we will discover the areas of life that not only enhance your spirituality, but also enhance the quality of your life. And guide you on the journey of experiencing a deeper level of faith than the ritualistic and traditional ways of religion. Here’s Just Some Of What We’ll Cover: -The 4 Principles Of Peace -The 12 Gifts Of Abundance -Causes Of Low Self Image -Tips For Emotional Health -The Sunflower Model -Love And Trust -Ideas For Creating A Positive Identity -Tips For Emotional Health -Stress Coping Strategies -Understanding Stress -Breaking Free From Stress -Practicing Centering Prayer -Choosing The Sacred Word -Invoking The Sacred Word -Quieting The Inner Chatter -The Challenges Of Centering Prayer And So Much More……..
