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.

Reflecting on the practice of disciple making in young adult, college, graduate, and local church contexts, Jonathan Dodson has discerned some common pitfalls. For many, discipleship is reduced to a form of religious performance before God. For others, it devolves into spiritual license and a loose adherence to spiritual facts. Both approaches distort biblical motivations for Christian obedience and are in need of reform. By explaining various motivations for discipleship, Dodson charts a biblically faithful, grace-driven alternative. Additionally, he provides a practical model for creating gospel-centered discipleship groups—small, reproducible, missional, gender-specific groups of believers that fight for faith together. This book blends both theology and practice to inspire and equip Christians to effectively fight sin, keep Jesus central, and make gospel-centered discipleship a way of life. Both new and growing Christians will learn to trust the gospel in community as they fight together for holiness as well as how to start gospel-centered community groups in any local church.

Holistic nutritionist and highly-regarded blogger Sarah Britton presents a refreshing, straight-forward approach to balancing mind, body, and spirit through a diet made up of whole foods. Sarah Britton's approach to plant-based cuisine is about satisfaction--foods that satiate on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Based on her knowledge of nutrition and her love of cooking, Sarah Britton crafts recipes made from organic vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds. She explains how a diet based on whole foods allows the body to regulate itself, eliminating the need to count calories. My New Roots draws on the enormous appeal of Sarah Britton's blog, which strikes the perfect balance between healthy and delicious food. She is a "whole food lover," a cook who makes simple accessible plant-based meals that are a pleasure to eat and a joy to make. This book takes its cues from the rhythms of the earth, showcasing 100 seasonal recipes. Sarah simmers thinly sliced celery root until it mimics pasta for Butternut Squash Lasagna, and whips up easy raw chocolate to make homemade chocolate-nut butter candy cups. Her recipes are not about sacrifice, deprivation, or labels--they are about enjoying delicious food that's also good for you.

Every day we are bombarded with new challenges, too many demands, and not enough time. We need more than a daily “to-do” list to be successful. The enemy is continually trying to steal our joy and keep us from God’s best. Spiritual warfare is required. The Daily Planner for a Great Life provides 365 days of spiritual guidance to reveal the unique life God has planned. “Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58). Prioritizing daily affairs, according to biblical principles, gives assurance for living more powerfully and effectively. Use these valuable tools to live victoriously. Your life matters to God! Placing God first and foremost is the choice that makes the difference between a good life and a great life. Consult with the King of glory on how to manage His affairs. Too often, we are lucky to squeeze God-time between the events of an already overwhelming, jam-packed, and exhausting day. We give God our leftover time. But good stewardship requires that we work our schedule around God, not God around our schedule. Starting each day soaking in the glorious radiance of His presence, is a better option. Divine leisure is a choice! Sacred time in the presence of the Almighty provides a proper perspective on what matters most. Godly reflection and introspection allow Jesus to guide us. As we stay attuned to the divine, we are prompted through the Holy Spirit to act. The magnitude of miracles we experience is directly related to the extent of our obedience. By keeping God-centered, we gain access to the divinity of God’s redeeming power and grace, to become all that He created us to be. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5–6). The Daily Planner for a Great Life is designed to help you do just that. This devotional planner is an excellent resource for people who want to prioritize their affairs according to biblical principles. Daily Devotions for a Great Life is a great companion resource for your spiritual journey. As you reflect on each day’s scripture, may the Glory of God be unveiled in your life.
