Where do you walk? This is my story of growing up with all of the necessities of life except love. I am driven to search the highways and byways for true love or at least the meaning of love. Where will my journey lead? Will I know love when I see it, and will it be worth finding? The hurts of the past are a burden and shows no mercy with me attempting to live in the present. The future can't be imagined until I let go. How do I get there? They say God is love, but what does that have to do with me striving and trying to know him? It is my story of self-discovery and how hope is eternal.
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.
Much-Afraid had been in the service of the Chief Shepherd, whose great flocks were pastured down in the Valley of Humiliation. She lived with her friends and fellow workers Mercy and Peace in a tranquil little white cottage in the village of Much-Trembling. She loved her work and desired intensely to please the Chief Shepherd, but happy as she was in most ways, she was conscious of several things which hindered her in her work and caused her much secret distress and shame. Here is the allegorical tale of Much-Afraid, an every-woman searching for guidance from God to lead her to a higher place.

I do hope this small book will be strength to all of God's people hear on this earth. I hope and pray that it will give you proof that some where on this earth, there is another traveler of God who is going through some of the same evils that has been put upon you as well. Evil, in such a manner, that we as a people cannot talk about. But see the demons in the people on these jobs, and churches, and on the streets day by day. This book is also a way of trying to alert God's people how these evil demonic people work through other people. And how they use other people upon you, and against you, and how they can cause people to hate you, through their powers of telepathy. Yes, they are evil. So many of you are destroyed in finances, marriages, and jobs, and you never knew how, or what hit you. Yes, you have been made to suffer, and never knew the enemy was with you in your own homes, listening to you praying aloud. Listening to your telephone conversations, watching you and destroying you, from the inside of your very homes. So, we must let our words be few, and seasoned with grace. In Other words, let us be careful what we say, when we speak. Because, these evil people are there in our homes, watching us, and we cannot see them, because we are of God, and in God. Don't Fear them, but rather God in heaven, who is able to kill both body and soul in hell!

In our time nobody is content to stop with faith but wants to go further. It would perhaps be rash to ask where these people are going, but it is surely a sign of breeding and culture for me to assume that everybody has faith, for otherwise it would be queer for them to be . . . going further. In those old days it was different, then faith was a task for a whole lifetime, because it was assumed that dexterity in faith is not acquired in a few days or weeks. When the tried oldster drew near to his last hour, having fought the good fight and kept the faith, his heart was still young enough not to have forgotten that fear and trembling which chastened the youth, which the man indeed held in check, but which no man quite outgrows. . . except as he might succeed at the earliest opportunity in going further. Where these revered figures arrived, that is the point where everybody in our day begins to go further.
Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct...

Fear of success, fear of persecution and imaginations are all ways that we limit God. We often see ourselves in a certain way but we have to change that image if we want to experience the abundant life that God has for...
