"I had the fairy tale marriage, a caring father to my children, a successful business, a beautiful new home on a golf course and a wonderful loving extended family. Then came the knock on my door, that cold January morning, delivering news that would change my life forever."Abandoned But Not Crushed describes a breathless account of a young mother's struggle to recover from the devastating news of her husband's suicide, while continuing to care for her three young children. Meanwhile, discoveries of other betrayals and an ensuing lawsuit from her husband's dealings thrust her into a four-year battle in the courts.

Book Description
Abandoned as an infant, abducted as a 5 year old, and abused throughout most of her young life, Dana Cryer grew up in seclusion without any outside contact or schooling. There were no bedtime stories or favorite children's books. There were no playmates, no toys, no dolls. No holidays or birthdays. She could not run and play in the sunshine. Abandoned but Not Forsaken tells the amazing true story of how God wonderfully and miraculously saved and delivered Dana from a life of abuse, mental duress, and suicidal depression. This is also the story of restoration and forgiveness. Dana shares how, through a series of divine encounters, God brought people into her life to break through the hard shell around her heart and reveal His unconditional love for her. As a result, a lifetime of despair, mental anguish and fear melted away. This a life-changing message of hope, deliverance, and healing for anyone who has been bound by the chains of abuse, fear, or depression.

Book Description
Reflecting on the practice of disciple making in young adult, college, graduate, and local church contexts, Jonathan Dodson has discerned some common pitfalls. For many, discipleship is reduced to a form of religious performance before God. For others, it devolves into spiritual license and a loose adherence to spiritual facts. Both approaches distort biblical motivations for Christian obedience and are in need of reform. By explaining various motivations for discipleship, Dodson charts a biblically faithful, grace-driven alternative. Additionally, he provides a practical model for creating gospel-centered discipleship groups—small, reproducible, missional, gender-specific groups of believers that fight for faith together. This book blends both theology and practice to inspire and equip Christians to effectively fight sin, keep Jesus central, and make gospel-centered discipleship a way of life. Both new and growing Christians will learn to trust the gospel in community as they fight together for holiness as well as how to start gospel-centered community groups in any local church.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Jesus said in Matthew 16:24”’Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” Since the cross was a place of death, taking up your cross implied the death, not of the person, but of the person’s desires, wants, and preferences. But the tension between our desires, wants and preferences often challenges our daily walk with Christ. The Apostle Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” In other words, the Bible has an answer for every challenge. This book explores what the Bible provides as “teaching, rebuking, correcting and training” to address many of the more common challenges faced by Christians. The concluding chapters focus on the understanding that God will give us the strength and the wisdom to know that “he works all things for our good” including life’s challenges. The goal of this book is to encourage the reader on their walk with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Book Description
Kai-Hsuan Chang engages with the longstanding scholarly debate concerning the development of Paul's resurrection theology, by investigating the correlation between his bodily experiences and his diverse articulations about resurrection. Drawing on insights from cognitive linguistics, Chang considers Paul's ideas about resurrection as fundamentally grounded in recurrent patterns of bodily experience, arguing that such experience of some religious activities in Paul's time-death rites, spirit possession, and baptism-contributed to the formation and development of his resurrection theology. Chang demonstrates that developments in Paul's ideas about “bodily transformation at resurrection” - reflected in 1 Corinthians 15 - resulted from a change in the experiential patterns on which his new idea is constructed, rather than “transformation during heavenly ascent” as seen in Jewish traditions of resurrection. He thus applies cognitive linguistic tools to two considerations; first, whether Paul had contextual reasons to generate his innovation in 1 Corinthians 15, and second, whether Paul's innovation recurred or had continual effects in Christian groups. In so doing, Chang shows that Paul's innovation directly addressed a contextual issue of death rites in Corinth and exerted a continuing effect on Paul's later ideas of transformation, spirit possession, and baptism.

Book Description
The Blessing of Brokenness was born out of tragedy. This book describes the raw emotions individuals face during a broken season. You will be encouraged to rely on faith while standing in the face of dark reality. A stern realization in brokenness is that you will either become a slave to circumstance or you will conquer the test set before you. Victory is accomplished by allowing God to reveal answers to broken questions in His way and His time. Broken does not mean failure and it does not require abandonment. We seek to find purpose in brokenness. If God allows brokenness to occur there is a purpose. God will not allow a test to come thats beyond your ability and doesnt lead you to His destiny. The purpose of permitted brokenness is to reveal His destiny. Understanding this shifts your vision to see past the fog of reality to the heart of God. Every dark night ends with the dawn of a morning. Each day with Christ comes with a new banner despite your test. My best is yet to come.
