Road Trip To Redemption Living In Darkness And Finding My Way Out

In Road Trip to Redemption: Living in Darkness and Finding My Way Out, author Christopher D Craig Sr shares his story of redemption with readers, discussing how the Lord showered him with love and peace through the ups and downs of life on his journey to find Christ. He started out as an overweight underachiever who just wanted to be noticed; then became a self-centered, egotistical hoax who only did what he wanted and only made time for self-gratification; followed by a religiously lost individual who felt like a broken toy. Finally, after hitting rock bottom, he realized who he really was, a follower and son of God who is the One True King and Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Christopher's story is an adventure, not a straight path but one with many twists and turns, trials and tribulations. He experienced both genuine love and terrible loss, yet after finding out who Jesus truly is in his life, his worries and pains are few, and his blessings are too numerous to mention. He wants to be a lamp, lifeboat, or ladder in people's lives, pointing them to the One who said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matt. 11:28 NIV). After all, no matter the depth of the hole you are in, all anyone must do is start by looking up. He is available for book signings and motivational speaking engagements at christopherdcraigsr.com

Brad Mathias thought everything in his family was fine. A busy, contented dad, he had vaguely noticed that Bethany, his middle child, had become withdrawn and moody, but he assumed it was part of being a "teen" and didn't look any deeper. Until the night God spoke clearly to Brad and his wife: Ask her to reveal what she has hidden. They did--and learned the secret Bethany had been carrying, one that rocked their family to the core. In a desperate attempt to reach their daughter and to reconnect as a family, Brad and his wife piled everyone into the car and embarked on a wild, crazy, seven-thousand-mile, what-are-we-thinking trip across the country. As they drove, they realized how far apart they'd drifted, found unexpected blessings along the way--and journeyed together from pain and loss to recovery and redemption. In this book, Brad shares stories from the road about God's grace, gives practical tips on what he learned about reconnecting as a family, invites you to consider your own epic journey as a mother or father, and calls you to trust wholeheartedly in the amazing love God has for your kids.

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.

Does your life seem to be empty, without meaning and/or purpose? Is the intense feeling of emptiness driving you into substance abuse, alcohol or promiscuous activities? Do you feel abandoned, because family and friends have distanced themselves from you? Maybe your testimony as a Christian has opened the flood gates of satan to drown the life out of you and you just dont feel you can make it any more, because its too much for you to bear. Well, listen to this. The God that I serve, His name is Jehovah. He is greater than the adversity you are facing. You are not alone! From a divine perspective, I say this to you: Fight the good fight of faith! Hold on to the faithfulness of Gods Word and endure difficulties without wavering. And then, according to 1 Peter 5:10, may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you. Glory to God!!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE! God will transform your loneliness into infinite happiness. No amount of friends, social gatherings, family get-togethers, movies, sports or lovers can ever fill the inner void from which loneliness originates. Only God can. When all our entertainments and busy-ness fail us, its time to look outside ourselves to our heavenly Father, Jehovah. Because He lives, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY NEVER ALONE!
