If you or a loved one suffer with Bipolar Disorder, you are holding the keys to hope. This book offers five gifts to help achieve recovery: · Practical tools for recovery including worksheets that help you go beyond mere survival to wellness—even happiness · Comprehensive and understandable explanations of how to create Bipolar Wellness from Bipolar Illness. · A nutritional approach that is being tested at advanced psychiatric facilities. · The author’s personal story of being stuck in a dark pit, finding his way out, and creating this book as a roadmap for you · Most of all, a new mindset to help you find a happy, steady reality in the Mid-Polar Zone between mania and depression, with clear tools on how to get back there whenever your pendulum is swinging wildly. “There are virtually no books that include an organized system for life-long recovery from bipolar illness. Michael Rose has done just that. Bipolar Wellness is written from the ground up by one who suffered many years with the problems of bipolar illness” Phillip Springer, M.D., Psychiatrist

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.

He soon sees his once-perfect future crumbling away.

ABOUT PURPOSE LIFE ACCORDING TO GOD'S PLAN Shattered, weeping, unnamed--- an outcast who gave so unselfishly that nearly two thousand years later, we are still sharing her story, but do we fully know the price of her sacrifice? Her story beautifully overlaps with the author’s personal testimony, poured out upon the pages to reignite a sense of wonder and praise. Reminding us that there is beauty in brokenness, God’s light will always shine through even the most minor cracks. Both women reached their breaking points, and rather than run; they placed their pain at the feet of Christ. God rewarded their worship with these words, “Daughter, your sins are forgiven. Go and sin no more.” ABOUT THE MERRY HEARTS INSPIRATIONAL SERIES Some use God's word to justify domestic violence, imprisonment, slavery, and systematic racism rather than preach peace, joy, salvation, and love. Throughout the Merry Hearts Inspirational series, readers will experience scripture as never before. Authors take one-dimensional Biblical characters and breathe new life into them to become relevant for the reader. Over time, many things have been misinterpreted, but the one important thing is that God’s grace isn’t just for men. Christ valued women so much. He had His most profound conversations with women. Christ performed astounding miracles through them, and following His resurrection, He appeared to the women first. Throughout scripture, God's love for women and everyone—no matter ethnic background or gender—may be found, from Genesis to Revelation. May you come to know His love in an authentic, tangible way. Each book in the Merry Hearts Inspirational Series is a standalone and can be read in any order: Book 1 – Journey – Lisa Dodson [Ruth and Boaz] Book 2 – Visions– J. L. Campbell [The Outside Child] Book 3 – Purpose – Florenza Denise Lee [The Unnamed Woman] Book 4 – Growth - Janice Allen [Esther, The Three Hebrew Boys] Book 5 – Transition -- Naleighna Kai [The Levite’s Concubine] Book 6 – Choices – Pat G’Orge-Walker [The Faithful Wife] Book 7 – Patience – Terri Ann Johnson [The Pharaoh’s Daughter] Book 8 – Persistence – U.
