Synopsis Gentle and Lowly by : Dane C. Ortlund

Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Synopsis I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die by : Sarah J. Robinson

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.

Synopsis Almost Home by : David Steen

A young boy and girl, born worlds apart, chased the promise of the good life—the American Dream—only for the lives they carefully built to fall apart in the wake of divorce. Almost Home shares the truth of God’s promises, his power to rebuild lives and transform hearts. Almost Home shares how two broken families joined together in holy matrimony and God’s healing. David Steen takes readers through one family’s journey of remarriage, building a home, growing a family, selling a house and pursuing life on a farm, all while pursuing the believers’ true home—with Christ. The family in Almost Home sought to build their lives anew on a firm foundation. Their desire for God and faith in Him, along with their raw determination and love for one another carried them through decades of joyous victories as well as trials and tribulations. The life of their dreams, along with an amazing place to call home, was built in amazement before their very eyes, and their growing family drew near to God continually, desiring to hear His voice and to obediently follow the Lord with reckless abandon. Yet even then, something was missing. In all of their pursuits, the destination of home they sought after in this life eventually became somewhat of a mystery, something to cling to less and less as time passed on. What they longed for was fleeting as they came to recognize that they were not citizens of this world after all, but sojourners on a journey to another world, a heavenly realm where the struggles of this life are no more. Join this family on their miraculous journey to find hope for the future as they pursue their heavenly home, encouraging readers to loosen their grip on the things of this world.
