Grief can be so debilitating that it blinds you to God's presence. Many who grieve struggle to face the sudden loss, much less embrace it and rest in it. In this remarkably honest book, Sharon Betters tells us the story of her teenage son's sudden death in a car accident. Excerpts from Sharon's journal express her raw grief, anger, and hunger to understand how God can be good and loving and still take away her youngest child. Sharon Betters draws listeners to a passage from Isaiah that carries God's promise to provide treasures for his people in the very midst of darkness and trouble.

With all the conveniences of the modern world, it seems like people would be happier and more peaceful than ever before. In reality, it is the exact opposite. In fact, many people are struggling to manage depression and anxiety like never before. When chaos hits your life, it is tempting to feel condemnation and shame. But when you see the redeeming fingerprint of God in your life, you can boldly announce that the God—who healed, delivered, and set you free—will do it again!

This is for everyone who is on the journey. The journey to grow into who God has called you to be. Those on the journey of healing wounds you did not create. The journey of self-forgiveness and letting go. This book is for you.

Are we to "forgive, forget, and move on?" Then why does that feel so wrong? Scripture tells us, “Be kind and tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you in Christ.” That means that God has established the method and the protocols for forgiveness and that we are to know and follow those. So, how has God forgiven us in Christ? What is it we are to emulate? In this booklet, we see that God’s approach to forgiveness and what He expects of us as we learn to extend forgiveness to others is not the “forgive, forget, and move on” theology many of us have been taught...

There was a dark season in my life when it literally felt like an earthquake had occurred. Everything in my life seemed to be falling apart...my family, my finances, our Church. And I asked God the simple question, "Why?" This book is the result of my own search for answers. In the end, God gave me illustrations that I will share with you and brought healing to my heart and my distorted view of Him. I was able to trust Him again, even though my circumstances had not changed. I pray that God uses this audiobook to deeply impact you as well.

It’s a strange form of Christianity that would deny that perpetrators of evil can be redeemed. The Bellowing of Cain was written primarily to those who, like Cain, have made horrible life-wrecking decisions and secondarily to those who have a calling to live and work with them. It is written by a fellow traveler who understands what it means to destroy one’s life…for he once did so.

She recognizes that counselors in both the mental health field and the faith-based arena share the same goal: to reduce emotional suffering.

We have all been wounded by others and experienced pain in our past. When left unhealed, those hurtful words and actions continue to affect us spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. We build walls of self-protection while our hearts and souls silently cry for help. We stay stuck in the past, unable to move forward into the person God designed us to be. Jesus and Me personally introduces us to the Source of Hope and Healing, the One who knows everything that has happened to us, and who can bring lasting healing to those painful places in our lives.

Drawn from the personal experience of the authors and current research, The Heart of Recovery calls us to set aside judgment and mend recovering addicts and their families with the stuff God uses to heal: compassion and community. It's a call to serve the ones who cannot repay, to forgive 70 times 7, to fling the door wide open to the prodigal, and to remember the purpose of grace. A supportive community - family, friends, the church, and more - encourages and sustains long-term recovery. Through compassion, we bring hope for healing.
