The Greatest Story Ever Told - The Yeshua Years by Rebe James
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/421048 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Greatest Story Ever Told - The Yeshua Years Author: Rebe James Narrator: Rebe James Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 22 minutes Release date: December 18, 2023 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: The saga continues as Yosef and Miriam settle into life in Nazara. They are blessed with children, but Herod, the ruler of Judea has ordered the death of all males between the age of two and four. Their youngest, Yeshua, falls into this category. This is the thrilling tale of Yeshua Cu Cuileann, son of Yosef of Arimathea and Miriam bat Helios. Known as the Day Star who is destined to save mankind, Yeshua does his best to ignore the prophesies of his birth and to lead as normal a life as possible. It is also the story of a love that was meant to be. Mariamne bat Herod Philip is the granddaughter of Herod the Great. She meets Yeshua at the young age of seven and it doesn't take long for her to fall head over heels for this atypical aristocrat. Although Yeshua returns the sentiment, power, intrigue and a horrific secret keeps him from declaring himself. From the depths of Egypt where he has gone into hiding, to his education at Qumran and eventually Jerusalem under the tutelage of the esteemed Rabbi Gamaliel, the wonders of Yeshua's childhood are brought to life. The missing years of this esteemed youth are also revealed as we explore his travels through the Eastern lands to learn from the greatest sages of old. Will he be able to curtail the horrific evils he has uncovered? Will he find a way to stop those in power who want to keep the masses enslaved? And what lies in store for Yeshua and Mariamne of Magdala? Will he need to give her up to keep her safe, or will they be together for all time?

Balance: Positioning Yourself to Do All Things Well by Touré Roberts
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/425931 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Balance: Positioning Yourself to Do All Things Well Author: Touré Roberts Narrator: Sarah Roberts, Touré Roberts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 17 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 7 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 4 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Read by the author with audio-exclusive reflections. Imagine learning to tap into the awareness, sensitivity, and highest thought patterns that enable the most successful outcomes in life, love, and business. What would your life look like if you were able to break the patterns of inconsistency that keep you from your absolute best? Could it be possible to identify and regularly access the highest version of yourself, leaving behind past hit-or-miss cycles and instead starting to win in every key area of your life? These goals are not only possible--they are what you were made for! In Balance, bestselling author Touré Roberts guides us on the eye-opening journey that unpacks the divine formula that makes this a reality. This illuminating guide brings a unique and eye-opening perspective to the evasive concept of balance. Transcending familiar theories of work-life balance, Roberts teaches that balance is a state of existence, a becoming that, when realized, not only brings forth the highest version of an individual but optimizes their life's output, productivity, relational value, and overall achievement. As he unpacks balance with stunning relatability, Roberts connects with people on every level. His easy-to-grasp style of teaching and unabashed vulnerability illuminate and clarify how living in balance is the longing in each human heart. Roberts shares life-changing personal stories and the principles they inspired while discovering balance in his own life. As an author, speaker, entrepreneur, CEO, and lead pastor of two large congregations in the United States--not to mention a devoted husband and dedicated father of six--Roberts knows that merely juggling responsibilities is not the answer. Balance departs from traditional techniques of time management and better organization to get to the core issues at stake. Roberts reveals that the path to true balance prioritizes self and discovers the unique, deep internal needs of the individual first. 'Identifying your deepest needs not only is life-transforming but brings forth your greatest self, pouring an overflow of your best and highest abilities into the lives of everyone around you,' Roberts explains. 'Balance is not about learning to effectively give pieces of yourself to important parts of your life. Balance is about knowing and becoming your entire self--and then giving from your wholeness to everyone and everything within the context of your life.' Key chapters include The Power of No, which unpacks why 'no' is the most powerful word in your vocabulary; There's No Team in I, a liberating and paradigm-shifting exploration of the difference between being selfish and the transformational quality of a term Roberts coins as being 'self-ful'; The 5 Signs of Imbalance, which will help you quickly identify the imbalances in your life and effectively respond before crisis hits; and Balance after The Blow, a step-by-step guide to get you back on your feet after experiencing an unexpected setback. You'll walk away from each illuminating chapter with powerful principles, tools, and prompts for self-evaluation. A personal navigation guide like no other, Balance charts your path to productivity, peace, positivity, purpose, and unlimited possibilities.

Reed Med CDP Narrator: Janina Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 39 minutes Release date: April 7, 2021 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Our brain's default setting is negativity. Ask anyone who has ever tried to lose weight, achieve a new skill, or incorporate a new habit and they can tell you that our natural tendency is to levitate toward mediocrity. However, optimism overpowers that negativity or tendency to be mediocre. Kimberly Reed's book Optimists Always Win!: Unlocking the Power to Reach Life's C-Suite isn't merely motivational mumbo jumbo. It is designed to help listeners develop a process to stay optimistic all the time. Reaching life's C-Suite means obtaining a level of happiness, peace, wisdom and growth in all areas of our lives. It's choosing optimism instead of anger, bitterness, or revenge. The life events that unfold for Reed in Optimists Always Win! will do just that—challenge anyone facing what seems to be an impossible situation and show that victory is absolutely possible. Her heroic battle with her mother's terminal illness and sudden loss as well as her subsequent battle with cancer will encourage others that one doesn't have to face adversity with pessimism or hopelessness. Relying heavily on her faith in God and the optimism that she learned to cultivate, Kimberly Reed teaches listeners the ten discouragement eliminators she used, which helped her succeed not just in her fight against cancer but as she lives each day as her best self.

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/415684 to listen full audiobooks. Title: A Burning in My Bones: The Authorized Biography of Eugene H. Peterson, Translator of The Message Author: Winn Collier Narrator: Richard Poe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 44 minutes Release date: March 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.62 of Total 13 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 3 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: This essential authorized biography of Eugene Peterson offers unique insights into the experiences and spiritual convictions of the iconic American pastor and beloved translator of The Message. “In the time of a generation-wide breakdown in trust with leaders in every sphere of society, Eugene’s quiet life of deep integrity and gospel purpose is a bright light against a dark backdrop.”—John Mark Comer, author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry “This hunger for something radical—something so true that it burned in his bones—was a constant in Eugene’s life. His longing for God ignited a ferocity in his soul.”   Encounter the multifaceted life of one of the most influential and creative pastors of the past half century with unforgettable stories of Eugene’s lifelong devotion to his craft and love of language, the influences and experiences that shaped his unquenchable faith, the inspiration for his decision to translate The Message, and his success and struggles as a pastor, husband, and father.   Author Winn Collier was given exclusive access to Eugene and his materials for the production of this landmark work. Drawing from his friendship and expansive view of Peterson’s life, Collier offers an intimate, beautiful, and earthy look into a remarkable life.   For Eugene, the gifts of life were inexhaustible: the glint of fading light over the lake; a kiss from his wife, Jan; a good joke; a bowl of butter pecan ice cream. As you enter into his story, you’ll find yourself doing the same—noticing how the most ordinary things shimmer with a new and unexpected beauty.

His Mighty Strength: Walk Daily in the Same Power that Raised Jesus from the Dead by Randy Frazee
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/425832 to listen full audiobooks. Title: His Mighty Strength: Walk Daily in the Same Power that Raised Jesus from the Dead Author: Randy Frazee Narrator: Mark Smeby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 12 minutes Release date: March 16, 2021 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: With warmth and biblical insight, Frazee shows us how to - rely on the power of the Holy Spirit just as Jesus did; - respond to God’s voice in decisions big and small; - raise our expectations for how God’s power can work through us; and - break free of addictions, habits, and destructive thoughts that hold us back. The Bible promises us more than inspiration. More than influence. The Bible promises us access to the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. So what keeps us from drawing on that incredible resurrection power in our daily lives? In His Mighty Strength, popular pastor and author Randy Frazee explores Jesus’ time on earth to uncover the amazing source of his strength. Jesus continually sought direction from the Father and found the power to live the Father’s will through the Holy Spirit. He said yes to God every day of his earthly life—and we can too. His Mighty Strength reminds us that Jesus’ resurrection power is not wishful thinking or a poetic metaphor. It’s a real source of strength that we have access to right now. And when we embrace God’s offering, our lives will never be the same. “This is not a watered-down self-help book—this is a powerful Gospel-centered guide to walking in the fullness of Christ. I challenge you to read this amazing book and accept the glorious gift of strength from Christ that enables us to live the abundant life God has promised us!” —Francesca Battistelli, Grammy Award–winning singer-songwriter

Great Lives: David: A Man of Passion and Destiny by Charles R. Swindoll
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/425887 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Great Lives: David: A Man of Passion and Destiny Series: Part of Great Lives Series Author: Charles R. Swindoll Narrator: Maurice England Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 31 minutes Release date: February 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: The Bible tells us that David was a man after God's own heart, but what does that mean in practice? David, the Old Testament shepherd, king, and psalmist, offers an answer in the shape of his own incredible life. Poet, musician, courageous warrior, and national statesman, David distinguished himself as one of God's greatest men. He modeled invincible confidence in the face of impossible circumstances. He made decisions with wisdom and equity. And he wrote with transparent vulnerability and quiet trust. But how well do we really know David? In Great Lives: David, the first volume in Charles Swindoll's bestselling Great Lives series, Swindoll gives us a closer look at this incredible man who had his fair share of difficulties. Throughout his life, David was gripped by destructive passion, rocked by family chaos and personal tragedy, and motivated by political expediency. Like all of us, David was far from perfect, but Swindoll teaches us that David had the chance to become great when he placed himself at the Lord's disposal. As Swindoll guides us through David's remarkable life and legacy, he asks and answers key questions along the way, including: - How did David become the national hero of God's chosen people? - Why is he the one character in the Bible described as 'a man after God's own heart?' - How can modern believers become people after God's own heart?   Join Swindoll as he teaches us that we can all endeavor to live a life marked by the humility, dependability, and integrity of David.

This book will restore your weary soul.”—Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head and founder and visionary of IF:Gathering   Christy Nockels knows firsthand how easily our desire to serve God—even when using the gifts He has given us—can overshadow our delight in simply being with Him. When God called her to lay down her ministry for a season, Christy was forced to confront how her sense of purpose and worth had become tangled up in her work. God then lovingly invited her to discover true rest in His presence as she learned to live as the Beloved.   In The Life You Long For, Christy shows us how to let go of hustle and achievement and instead find our identity in the quiet center of God’s love. As we delight in being with Him, we are filled to overflowing with contentment and love that propel us into an entirely new way of being, one in which every act of service and every encounter with the people around us arise from a heart at rest.   With irresistible warmth and grace, this book calls you to step fully into the life you didn’t even realize you’ve been seeking, as you find your highest calling not in a duty to uphold but in a beautiful identity to live out.

Crazy Happy: Nine Surprising Ways to Live the Truly Beautiful Life by Daniel Fusco
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/417265 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Crazy Happy: Nine Surprising Ways to Live the Truly Beautiful Life Author: Daniel Fusco Narrator: Daniel Fusco, Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 14 minutes Release date: February 16, 2021 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Is it crazy to want a happy life? The host of Jesus Is Real Radio and Hillsong Channel’s Real with Daniel Fusco unlocks the happiness we long for in the most famous teachings of Jesus and the apostle Paul.   “If you want the unshakable happiness Jesus has for you, this book can show you the way.”—Tim Timberlake, lead pastor of Celebration Church, Jacksonville, Florida, and author of Abandon   Dissatisfied with your life? Yeah, most of us have been there. There’s no shame in wanting to be happy, but true satisfaction often eludes us. At best, the fleeting happiness we do find usually dribbles away in our never-ending debts, deadlines, and mindless scrolling. At worst, it’s chased away by anxiety, depression, or fallout from our own selfishness.   Here’s the truth: whether we hunt for happiness in school parties, bars, the workplace hustle, or even in church pews, we’ll wind up shortchanged. Why? Because plain and simple, the only reason we’re so often unhappy with our lives is because we don’t see our lives as beautiful.    But God wants something better for you.   In Crazy Happy, pastor Daniel Fusco unpacks fresh connections in two of the Bible’s most familiar passages—connections that can really, truly, honest-to-goodness change things. If you stick around for the ride, you’ll find the kind of God-given beauty that can change your life and make you crazy happy too—even in the midst of our sometimes-crazy world. This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF that contains the Points to Ponder from the book.

A companion for all who feel the immense joys and challenges of the journey of faith, this collection of prayers says it all aloud, giving readers permission to recognize the weight of all they carry. These writings also offer a broadened imagination of hope—of what can be restored and made new. Each prayer is an original piece of writing, with new essays by Sarah Bessey throughout.   Encompassing the full breadth of the emotional landscape, these deeply tender yet subversive prayers give readers an intimate look at the diverse language and shapes of prayer.

Peterson Narrator: Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 17 minutes Release date: January 26, 2021 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: In this powerful new interpretation of the book of Revelation, the late, revered author and translator of The Message Bible offers timely insights into how we can lean into growth, not in spite of challenging times, but because of them. “Insightful and inviting . . . This is Eugene at his pastoral best.”—Rev. Dr. Glenn Packiam, associate senior pastor at New Life Church and author of Blessed Broken Given The book of Revelation is filled with angels and dragons, fantastic beasts and golden cities, bottomless pits and mysterious numbers. It’s dramatic, sure—but what exactly does that have to do with the tests we face today?    Actually, a lot.    When the apostle John penned the book of Revelation, believers lived in a time of deception and injustice. But his message doesn’t just reflect their cries for things to be made right; it reveals heaven’s perspective of the bigger picture.    In this never-before-published work, Eugene H. Peterson traces the dramatic symbolism found in John’s letters to the seven churches, uncovering Christ’s instructions to these ancient communities. Along the way, encounter seven key tests, of our love, suffering, truth, holiness, reality, witness, and commitment, tests from Christ that can deepen our faith and even shape our future.    This Hallelujah Banquet is your personal invitation to grow deep and begin living now in a generous, abundant, and hopeful reality in Christ.

Twelve Ordinary Men: How the Master Shaped His Disciples for Greatness, and What He Wants to Do with You by John F. Macarthur

Title: Twelve Ordinary Men: How the Master Shaped His Disciples for Greatness, and What He Wants to Do with You Author: John F. Macarthur Narrator: Maurice England Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 46 minutes Release date: January 26, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.4 of Total 10 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Discover how God used ordinary men, Jesus's twelve chosen disciples, to change the world, and how He can accomplish the same thing through you. You don't have to be perfect to do God's work. Look no further than the twelve disciples, whose many weaknesses are forever preserved throughout the pages of the New Testament. Join bestselling author John MacArthur in Twelve Ordinary Men as he draws principles from Christ's careful, hands-on training of the original disciples for today's modern disciple, you!  Jesus chose ordinary men--fishermen, tax collectors, political zealots--and turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from people who were otherwise unremarkable. The twelve disciples weren't the stained-glass saints we imagine. On the contrary, they were truly human, all too prone to mistakes, misstatements, wrong attitudes, lapses of faith, and bitter failure. Simply put, they were flawed people, just like us. But under Jesus' teaching and touch, they became a force that forever changed the world. MacArthur takes you into the inner circle of the disciples--their selection, their training, their personalities, and their incredible impact. As MacArthur took a closer look at the lives of the twelve disciples, he found himself asking difficult questions along the way, including: - Why did Jesus pick each of the twelve disciples? - How did Jesus teach them everything he could in just eighteen short months? - Can the lessons that Jesus taught the disciples can still influence our faith today? In Twelve Ordinary Men, you'll learn that disciples are living proof that God's strength is made perfect in weakness. As you get to know the men who walked with Jesus, you'll see that if he can accomplish his purposes through them, he can do the same through you.

Many people don't like the story God is writing in their lives. The mistakes, failures, tragedies, and circumstances outside of our control linger in our minds and hold us back. How do we come to grips with the pieces of our stories that we wish weren't there? How do we silence the pain of what has been done to us and the shame of what we've allowed to be done through us? In When You Don't Like Your Story, Bible teacher Sharon Jaynes shows us how God untangles our most painful emotions with the fingers of grace, putting his redemption on display. In the hardest parts of our narratives, we get to see God's greatest work--and this changes the ending of our stories. As we overcome shame, offer forgiveness, and use our stories to help others, we find freedom from the past and learn to live in the restoration of the present. Accompanying Bible verses, prayers, and study guide are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Title: Walking Through Fire: A Memoir of Loss and Redemption Author: Vaneetha Rendall Risner Narrator: Cristen Paige, Vaneetha Risner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 29 minutes Release date: January 19, 2021 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: The astonishing, Job-like story of how an existence filled with loss, suffering, questioning, and anger became a life filled with shocking and incomprehensible peace and joy. Vaneetha Risner contracted polio as an infant, was misdiagnosed, and lived with widespread paralysis. She lived in and out of the hospital for ten years and, after each stay, would return to a life filled with bullying. When she became a Christian, though, she thought things would get easier, and they did: carefree college days, a dream job in Boston, and an MBA from Stanford where she met and married a classmate. But life unraveled. Again. She had four miscarriages. Her son died because of a doctor's mistake. And Vaneetha was diagnosed with post-polio syndrome, meaning she would likely become a quadriplegic. And then her husband betrayed her and moved out, leaving her to raise two adolescent daughters alone. This was not the abundant life she thought God had promised her. But, as Vaneetha discovered, everything she experienced was designed to draw her closer to Christ as she discovered 'that intimacy with God in suffering can be breathtakingly beautiful.'

But raising a family on a farm is teaching her more about God’s goodness and grace than she could have imagined.   Faith, Farming, and Family is a rich, story-filled walk through farmhouse hallways, harvest-ready fields, and God’s bountiful dreams for our lives. As Caitlin reflects on everything from wayward tractors to watching a marriage grow from surviving to flourishing, she reminds us to see the redemption in our own stories.   Join Caitlin in exploring biblical truth through the eyes of a farmer’s wife, whether you are wrangling kids onto a school bus, sowing creative seeds in a business meeting, or walking the pastures of your own family farm. Faith, Farming, and Family invites us to recognize God’s beauty right in front of us so that we might find the courage to take the next step—or the first step—into His incredible calling.

When I Am Second launched in 2008, the organization intended simply to tell stories of lives changed utterly by people placing God first and themselves second. Although the organization has exploded in size and influence since, that original mission has remained the same--and continues to have enormous power and influence today. I Found Love is the highly anticipated new audiobook from I Am Second, gathering together stories of people who searched everywhere for fulfillment and wholeness and found it only when they surrendered to God. People whose stories appear include the following, among others: - David and Tamela Mann - Jason Castro - Sean Lowe - Stephen Baldwin Moving, compelling, and profoundly inspiring, the stories found here remind us that our hearts will always be restless until they find their rest in God and always unsatisfied until we find the love of God.

How to Fight Racism: Courageous Christianity and the Journey Toward Racial Justice by Jemar Tisby
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/425911 to listen full audiobooks. Title: How to Fight Racism: Courageous Christianity and the Journey Toward Racial Justice Author: Jemar Tisby Narrator: Jemar Tisby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 38 minutes Release date: January 5, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Winner of the 2022 ECPA Christian Book Award for Faith & Culture How do we effectively confront racial injustice? We need to move beyond talking about racism and start equipping ourselves to fight against it. In this follow-up to the New York Times Bestseller the Color of Compromise, Jemar Tisby offers an array of actionable items to confront racism. How to Fight Racism introduces a simple framework—the A.R.C. Of Racial Justice—that teaches readers to consistently interrogate their own actions and maintain a consistent posture of anti-racist behavior. The A.R.C. Of Racial Justice is a clear model for how to think about race in productive ways: - Awareness: educate yourself by studying history, exploring your personal narrative, and grasping what God says about the dignity of the human person. - Relationships: understand the spiritual dimension of race relations and how authentic connections make reconciliation real and motivate you to act. - Commitment: consistently fight systemic racism and work for racial justice by orienting your life to it. Tisby offers practical tools for following this model and suggests that by applying these principles, we can help dismantle a social hierarchy long stratified by skin color. He encourages rejection passivity and active participation in the struggle for human dignity. There is hope for transforming our nation and the world, and you can be part of the solution. Accompanying graphics and tables are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

The In-Between Place: Where Jesus Changes Your Story by Kat Armstrong
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/425834 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The In-Between Place: Where Jesus Changes Your Story Author: Kat Armstrong Narrator: Kat Armstrong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 7 minutes Release date: January 5, 2021 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: If you’re curious about how Jesus can change your individual story, the story of Jesus and the woman at the well offers insights to make peace with the past, find hope in the present, and step into the future. God wants us to move toward the goodness He has planned for us. But what do we do when challenges stop our forward momentum? On his way from Judea to Galilee, Jesus traveled through Samaria, a broken place everyone knew to avoid. In Samaria he stopped in a place where evil reigned. Yet the place once condemned as somewhere no one wanted to visit—let alone stay in for a while—was the location of one Samaritan woman’s most hope-filled encounter with the Savior. This encouraging book: - Offers a fresh perspective on difficult times and challenging life circumstances where we feel stuck - Provides practical help to step through hardship and into the redemption God has for us - Is based on the story of the woman at the well found in John 4 - Is ideal for women’s Bible studies and book clubs The In-Between Place offers deeply important insights to anyone who feels stuck and can’t see a way forward. It’s for the person who feels lost and is not sure she is worth the effort to be found, for the person who feels overlooked and unfulfilled. Because sometimes Jesus saves our greatest spiritual breakthroughs for our in-between places. Discussion questions and study resources are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/425875 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Depression, Anxiety, and Other Things We Don't Want to Talk About: A Hopeful Christian Guide to Understanding and Discussing Mental Health Author: Ryan Casey Waller Narrator: Ryan Waller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 46 minutes Release date: January 5, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2.75 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: Mental illness loves to tell lies. One of those lies is that you should be able to manage what you're struggling with all by yourself, but in Depression, Anxiety, and Other Things We Don't Want to Talk About, pastor and psychotherapist Ryan Casey Waller reminds us that we don't have to suffer alone. Mental health issues aren't a symptom of a spiritual failing or insufficient faith. In fact, suffering is the very thing our Savior seeks to heal as he leads us toward restoration. And yet, as Waller has experienced firsthand, the battle can be lonely and discouraging--but it doesn't have to be. Combining practical theology, clinical insights, and deep empathy, Waller offers a rare mix of companionship and truth, inviting us to: - Have shame-free conversations about mental health - Discover why self-knowledge is so important to a deep relationship with God - Understand the intersection of biology, psychology, and spirituality - Explore varying avenues of healing in community, therapy, and medication - Be equipped to support loved ones while practicing self-care Waller bridges the gap between the spiritual and the psychological in this empathetic, imminently helpful guidebook, reminding us all that we are not alone. Hope starts now. Praise for Depression, Anxiety, and Other Things We Don't Want to Talk About: 'I work with Christian leaders from all over the country and have seen firsthand how desperately we need to be talking about depression and anxiety. What prior generations considered taboo, the leaders of today and tomorrow consider essential. Whether you're new to the conversation of mental health or intimately familiar with its complexities, Waller's book has something for you. I can't wait for you to read this.' --Grant Skeldon, author of The Passion Generation and Next Gen Director at Q
