A shame-free guide for Christians who feel crushed under the weight of severe depression and suicidal thoughts that offers a clear, hopeful road map to a rich and vibrant life in Christ.
Christians who struggle with severe depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts know the intense shame that comes with the darkness and the fear of opening up. While the Church often counsels those struggling to read their Bible more and pray, and to "choose joy" because 'good Christians aren't depressed,' countless Christians battle severe, crippling mental health issues that aren't so easily erased.
'In I Love Jesus, but I Want to Die', Sarah J. Robinson breaks open the conversation about severe depression and mental illness. Robinson bravely bares the depths of pain with proven tactics and resources for help and
healing, giving readers confidence that they are not alone in their suffering and the conviction that they are worth whatever it takes to get well and fight for wholeness.
Beautifully written by a fellow sufferer, 'I Love Jesus, but I Want to Die' leads readers on a journey toward something they thought impossible: a rich vibrant life in Christ, in spite of severe depression and suicidal thoughts.
