Book Description
One must never pick up a stray piece of paper at the Algonquin Round Table--it might be the check. But when second-rate illustrator Ernie MacGuffin slips Dorothy Parker an envelope, only later does she discover it's a suicide note: MacGuffin has leapt to his death from the Brooklyn Bridge! Days later, his works have tripled in value, but something smells fishy to Dorothy. Accompanied by magician and skeptic Harry Houdini, she goes to a sance held by MacGuffin's mistress where Ernie's ghostly voice seems eerily real. But that can't be, can it? In J. J. Murphy's You Might As Well Die, wisecracks and witicisms abound as Dorothy and her pals pursue the mystery -- and money to pay their overflowing tab -- through the streets of 1920s Manhattan.

Pages : 257
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.
