It's easy to get discouraged by the headlines. It can often feel as if God has left the building, like we are on our own. We want to believe God's promises to us, and we search for signs of his continuing restoration of the world in which we live. Now, with passion and heart, two leading experts on Christianity and culture cut through the chaos and uncertainty to show readers how God is powerfully active and intensely engaged in fulfilling his promise to restore all things unto himself. Through inspiring real-life stories of justice, mercy, love, and forgiveness in our midst, Smith and Stonestreet present a God who is intimately involved in his creation and using his church to work out the redemption of this world.

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.

Audacious love is bold, daring, and recklessly brave. It's fearless, dauntless, and unrestrained. It's the kind of love that Jesus demonstrated, and it's the kind of love he calls us to show others. On this 31-day devotional journey, you'll discover the meaning, power, and purpose of God's audacious love-and be inspired to share it with the world. With warmth, vulnerability, and humor, Lysa TerKeurst, Susie Larson, and other women living for Christ share real-life stories and wisdom drawn from their own encounters with the God of love. You'll explore how we experience God's audacious love, how it's greater than our fears or failures, and how it inspires us to act with courage and kindness. God's love pursues us, comforts us, and empowers us to walk confidently through life's trials. It is ever-present, sometimes showing up in big ways, other times surprising us in quiet moments. When we begin to believe that God's audacious love reaches into our deepest loneliness, our darkest pain, and our burning questions-it might just change our thoughts, words, and actions.

She had no birth certificate and no medical records and had never been enrolled in school. Westover’s mother proved a marvel at concocting folk remedies for many ailments. As Tara developed her own coping mechanisms, little by little, she started to realize that what her family was offering didn’t have to be her only education.
