Spiritual Depression by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Pdf

Spiritual Depression is one of the great classics of the modern Church and tackles the big question: If Christianity is such "good news" why are its followers often unhappy? Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones was possibly the greatest Christian preacher and teacher of the twentieth century. A medical doctor by training, Spiritual Depression draws together his professional understanding of the mind with a profound understanding of Christian teaching and the Bible. Spiritual Depression diagnoses the causes of the ill feeling that many Christians experience. It prescribes the practical care that is needed to lift people's spirits and bring them freedom, power and joy. Spiritual health is possible and this book explains how everyone can grasp it for themselves.

More to Life by Britt Sevitt Pdf

Do you believe that there is more to this world than can be perceived and experienced with your five senses? Well, Britt didn’t. She liked facts, reality, science and things she could explain. Although, somewhere deep down, she did always have a gut feeling that there was more to life than the daily routine of wake, work, eat, sleep, repeat. One day, after almost two decades of clinical depression and anxiety, Britt was suddenly bowled over by an unexpected spiritual awakening and her attitude towards life changed overnight. Years of debilitating depression melted away. It was as if the cover had been removed from her eyes and she was suddenly able to see that there is so much more to life and this world than we can possibly perceive. It was not easy for Britt, a complete cynic and skeptic, to go from thinking it was all a bunch of nonsense to embracing her spiritual ‘woo’ side. This book traces Britt’s life through her depression, her awakening and her on-going journey as she tries to reconcile her new-found wisdom and spirituality with her utter skepticism for anything alternative or non-scientific, not to mention with her long-held traditional Jewish beliefs.

Unmasking Male Depression by Archibald D. Hart Pdf

Depression is a secret pain at the core of many men's lives, and one that goes largely undiagnosed and untreated. The consequences of not treating male depression are extremely serious. Studies show that suicide is more common in men than women, and tha the male suicide rate is three times higher at midlife than at any other life stage. In Unmasking Male Depression, Dr. Archibald Hart explores the many forms of depression and gives tools for coping with and healing depression in men. Hart also examines the lives of Christian leaders who struggled with depression, such as Charles Spurgeon, Martin Luther, and John Calvin, to reveal the myths surrounding this illness

Navigating Spiritual Depression by Sergio Rijo Pdf

I am so excited to share with you my book, Navigating Spiritual Depression: Finding Meaning in the Dark Night of the Soul. This book is the culmination of my personal journey through the dark night of the soul and my experience as a therapist working with others who have also experienced spiritual depression. In this book, I share my personal story of navigating spiritual depression and offer practical guidance and tools for finding meaning and growth in difficult times. I explore the concept of the dark night of the soul, its different stages, and the challenges and opportunities it presents for spiritual growth and transformation. Throughout the book, I offer insights and strategies for processing the experience, reflecting on what has been learned, and integrating the experience into one's life in a way that allows for growth and transformation. I also offer encouragement and hope for those going through difficult times, reminding readers that they are not alone and that there is meaning and purpose to be found in the midst of spiritual depression. I believe that this book will be a valuable resource for anyone going through a period of spiritual depression or seeking to deepen their spiritual journey. It is my hope that readers will find inspiration, guidance, and hope in the pages of this book and that it will serve as a companion and source of support on their journey.

True Worshipers by Bob Kauflin Pdf

Everyone worships. But Jesus tells us that God is seeking a particular kind of worshiper. In True Worshipers, a seasoned pastor and musician guides readers toward a more engaging, transformative, and biblically faithful understanding of the worship God is seeking. True worship is an activity rooted in the grace of the gospel that affects every area of our lives. And while worship is more than just singing, God’s people gathering in his presence to lift their voices in song is an activity that is biblically based, historically rooted, and potentially life-changing. Thoroughly based in Scripture and filled with practical guidance, this book connects Sunday worship to the rest of our lives—helping us live as true worshipers each and every day.

Summary of David artyn Lloyd-Jones's Spiritual Depression by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Psalms are a great source of solace and encouragement for God’s people. They are revelations of truth, but they are presented in the terms of human experience. They are honest with themselves, and that is why they are so valuable. #2 We must deal with the Biblical teaching on this subject, and then we can go on to look at certain notable examples from the Bible and observe how the persons concerned behaved. We must not only extract the principles illustrated by the stories, but also the teachings. #3 We must face this problem for the sake of the Kingdom of God and the glory of God. We must represent God and His message and power in such a way that people are drawn and attracted to us, even if we are depressed. #4 The causes of spiritual blindness are many, and they are all related to the fact that we do not take the time to examine ourselves. We must take time to examine ourselves, because general statements are not enough in and of themselves.

The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul Pdf

Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

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

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.

When Darkness Seems My Closest Friend by Mark Meynell Pdf

‘I’m looking for the words and writing for those who can’t imagine the words.’ Mark Meynell articulates a heart pain that most of us simply couldn’t express. He connects strongly and immediately with fellow cave dwellers. We relive significant moments from boarding school, Uganda, Berlin and London. We visit the Psalms, Job and The Pilgrim's Progress. If you're after neat conclusions and a fair-weather faith, this is not for you. This book serves up gritty reality and raw honesty, but also the heartfelt hope that the author's brokenness 'can somehow contribute to another person's integration' and 'inspire their clinging while beset by darkness or fog or blizzards'. Contents 1 The mask 2 The volcano 3 The cave 4 The weight 5 The invisibility cloak 6 The closing 7 The way 8 The fellow-traveller 9 The gift Appendix 1 Managing the symptoms Appendix 2 Unexpected friends in the cave Appendix 3 Some words from inside the cave

Dust in the Blood by Jessica Coblentz Pdf

2023 College Theology Society Best Book Award 2023 Catholic Media Association Third Place Award, Theology – Morality, Ethics, Christology, Mariology, and Redemption 2023 Association of Catholic Publishers Second Place Award, Theology Dust in the Blood considers the harrowing realities of life with depression from a Christian theological perspective. In conversation with popular Christian theologies of depression that justify why this suffering exists and prescribe how people ought to relate to it, Jessica Coblentz offers another Christian approach to this condition: she reflects on depression as a wilderness experience. Weaving first-person narratives of depression, contemporary theologies of suffering, and ancient biblical tales of the wilderness, especially the story of Hagar, Coblentz argues for and contributes to an expansion of Christian ideas about what depression is, how God relates to it, and how Christians should understand and respond to depression in turn.
