"It is one matter to forget things when you have a million thoughts flooding your mind and quite another to forget when your head is as empty as a looted store." -from Remind Me Why I'm Here In the spring of 1996, Diana Lund was a top-ranked project manager in her mid-thirties when a car accident instantly changed her personality and her life's direction. Thrust into short-term memory loss and cognitive deficit, self-perception kept colliding into reality. Neurologists underestimated her difficulties; they sent her back to work, to manage multi-million dollar contracts, in a mentally compromised state. Beyond an account of devastating internal transformation, Remind Me delves into neurological research and trends. Lund pushes her intellect to its limit to unravel mysteries about her brain and accident. And on her quest to become whole again and to understand the neurological world, she discovers hope. "A topic that could be dense and heavy becomes a page turner. Even sophisticated professionals can relate to the freshness of observations . . ." -Leonard Diller, PhD, Prof. of Rehabilitation Medicine, NYU School of Medicine; Director of Psychology, Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine "A superbly written volume . . . illustrating . . . that even so-called minor brain injuries can produce functionally incapacitating cognitive and neurobehavioral impairments . . ." -Yehuda Ben-Yishay, PhD, Prof. of Clinical Rehabilitation Medicine, NYU "Essential reading for clinicians, families, and counselors." -Marilyn Lash, MSW, Partner, Lash and Associates Publishing/Training, Inc.

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.

With his gorgeous blue eyes, perfect white teeth, and full, sensuous lips, Parks grabs Jasmine's attention the first moment she lays eyes on him. However, when Parks tries to muscle his way into her father's business--a corrupt business that Antonio Grant has kept hidden from his daughter--Jasmine's world begins to crumble. She is framed for drug use, fired from her job, and her apartment building is burned to the ground. When she witnesses the brutal murder of her father for information Parks wants, Jasmine flees to Maine. Once there, she makes yet another shocking discovery about her father's business--all while Parks attempts to locate Jasmine and exact his revenge. Along the way, Las Vegas boss Billy Gorman comes to Jasmine's aid, bringing his own set of unsavory rules, and a U.S. Marshal with an uncanny habit of showing up at critical moments turns the tide against both sides. Jasmine's world of naiveté is forever stolen as battle lines are drawn in a deadly game of corruption, with humans as the grand prize.
