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.

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.

Belonging offers a fresh perspective on common grace, leading us out of self-destructive narcissism and into whole and healthy relationships with God and others.

Maybe you are successful in some areas of your life, such as in your profession. However, you are unusually sad, discouraged, or depressed; you feel empty, as if you are living in a dark place, or you are even wanting to isolate or hurt yourself. Sometimes you feel irritable or agitated, physically tired for no reason, or tired of living altogether. You have tried everything - medications, therapy, and alternative methods - but nothing seems to help. Fun activities no longer interest you, and you can’t truly enjoy your relationships or your work. You have appetite or sleep problems.

We know that Jesus came to give us an abundant life (John 10:10). Yet many of us would describe our lives with words such as busy, stressed, anxious, or even overwhelmed. Despite how much we dislike the weight of such a frantic existence, we often carry on living with a gap between our experience and the fullness of life we know that Jesus offers. But it doesn't have to be this way. The Bible makes it clear that the position of victory is seated. Seated in Christ.

"The thought of pushing God away doesn't seem a good option; surely I need him on my side", is often peoples' first response. And, they are right, but this is what most people are doing each day. For some reason, they think it's okay to take matters of God into their own hands. They feel it's their right to worry, doubt, judge others, seek revenge or hold bitterness in their hearts. When you hold onto these negative thoughts and feelings, they slowly fill the mind and heart.

Every day we lose a little bit of something. So does the God of the resurrection have anything to say to our hurts? Was Christ’s resurrection a once-and-done thing, or is there hope for healing and restoration now?

In candid and artful prose, Lobdell shares stories of her own depression, loss of confidence, and disillusionment with the church.

Most Christians are content just wearing their team colors and cheering from the sidelines. God did not call and equip you to be a casual fan; he called you to be in the game. To be in the game, you will need Godly grit. Godly grit is Holy Spirit-infused passion and perseverance. This book explores Godly grit elements, what prevents it from growing, and what can be done to replenish a lost supply. This book is not for someone satisfied with complacency. This book is for someone who sincerely desires to be a disciple of Jesus and reach a hurting world.

Are you trapped by anger or constant irritation? Even if you think you have forgiven someone, latent anger is a sure sign you are suffering from an unresolved offense or abuse. And in an effort to protect yourself, you have likely hurt others as well. Managing anger will never get you to freedom. You have to address the root cause. Forgiveness is not necessarily reconciliation. Forgiveness is not magic, and healing is a process.
