About the Book
"This deeply compassionate, shame-free guide for Christians battling severe depression and suicidal thoughts offers a clear, hopeful road map to a rich, vibrant life in Christ"--Book Synopsis
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.Review Quotes

As soon as I read Sarah’s note that my, the reader’s, safety is more important than finishing the book I knew this wasn’t going to be like any other book. The pages are full of grace, vulnerability, and validation for both fellow sufferers and those who love them. Sarah guides the reader through her mental health struggles sharing profound insight she’s collected along the way. In some ways our stories are similar, but in a lot of ways they’re different. She is quick to acknowledge those differences and there’s this magic in the way she shares her pain and heart that makes me feel like there’s space for my pain (and others) alongside hers. Part three was my least favorite, as my own unresolved story came bubbling to the surface. It took me a long time to get through, but I kept reminding myself of Sarah’s wisdom to take care of myself first. I mention this because I imagine that many readers will have a similar moment. This book isn't a solution. It's a companion for the journey, whether that journey lasts a season or a lifetime. I know this book will have a permanent spot on my bookshelf for years to come. Finally, if you are someone who doesn’t relate to the title I still highly recommend reading it. Not only is there wisdom for all seasons in its pages, chances are there is someone in your life who loves Jesus but wants to die. I received this book from the publisher through their book launch program and was not required to write a positive review.
