Beyond Broken Finding Power In The Pain

Everyone gets broken at some point. But how do we find power in that pain? Brokenness is a reality that every follower of Jesus experiences at some point on their journey, and it is in those moments of trial, pain, fear or failure that we look to the Lord for rescue and deliverance. We're grateful for the times He saves us from the valley, but what of the moments when we experience His salvation by walking with Him through the valley? This book doesn't ignore the reality of brokenness. Rather, it embraces it, while making a journey of faith to help us find power in the pain. So often we cry out to God to "deliver us from evil" because our natural human instinct longs to find the exit. But as numerous heroes of the faith will testify, walking through the valley is sometimes the only way out of it. Helen Roberts, Author of Be Victorious and Be Fruitful, from the foreword: "Like an uninvited houseguest, or even worse a midnight burglar, brokenness can bash its way into our lives. Unannounced. Unwelcome. Unexpected. In Beyond Broken, John Andrews takes us on a profound journey where we can discover a new wholeness from our brokenness and find power, even in the pain of our lives." About the author: Dr John Andrews is an author, speaker and teacher with a passion to equip and inspire leaders, as well as empowering followers of Jesus into effective lifestyle and service.

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.

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.
