The Student Workbook is designed to lead you through a personal life-application study of God’s Word, using the Self-Confrontation manual as a reference. The Workbook leads you through key Scripture passages and points you to relevant portions of the Self-Confrontation manual. It can be used: • for your own personal study • in a one-on-one discipleship format, or • in a small group setting. The lessons have blank portions to complete, based on passages from the Bible. This is part of what you might call your written homework. The Self-Confrontation Bible Study is a great way for you to spend daily time in God’s Word, with the emphasis on your own walk with the Lord and your relationships with others. These principles are timeless and cultureless; and they will change your life, when applied with God’s enabling power.

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.
