  Feeling a Bit Lost These Days? Here's Your Map Home 
   
   
   
  You want a life of purpose and meaning, but if there's a map to get you there, you haven't been able to find it. 
   
   
   
  Until now. 
   
   
   
  Your treasure map is closer than you think, and Jami Nato tucked it inside this book. Your journey begins by looking at your past, and then following the breadcrumbs that God has left for you every step of the way. 
   
   
   
  Jami found her breadcrumbs in the rubble after her marriage fell apart. Downgraded from perfect Christian wife and mother to hot mess, she finally let go of what the world (and the church) said she should be and let God reforge her into a thriving, joyful woman living on purpose. 
   
   
   
  Moving seamlessly between the hilarious and the heartbreaking, Jami asks hard questions and shares what God has taught her through her own story—so you can step fully into yours. And while you shouldn't trust her with your laundry or houseplants, you can trust her to help you discover the unique calling God has for your life.

  Bruised and Wounded - Struggling...

  Those who die at their own hands can be trusted to the "infinite understanding and compassion" of God. -- Fr. Ron Rolheiser
  This book offers hope and healing to those who have experienced the loss of a loved one or anyone trying to understand suicide. —Daniel S. Mulhall, Catholic News Service
  
  Recent events have shown again how suicide touches all of us — often when we least expect it. But how to unpack the grief that follows such a painful, and often stigmatized, death? Ron Rolheiser can help.
  
  When someone is stricken with cancer, one of three things can happen: Doctors treat the disease and cure it; professionals can't cure the disease but can control it so that the person suffering can live with the disease for the rest of his or her life; or the cancer can be of a kind that cannot be treated and all the medicine and treatments in the world are powerless – the person dies.
  Emotional depression leading to suicide can work the same way. Sometimes a person can be treated so that, in effect, they are cured; sometimes they can't ever really be cured, but can be treated in a way that they can live with the disease for their whole life; and sometimes, just as with certain kinds of cancer, the disease is untreatable, unstoppable, and no intervention by anyone or anything can halt its advance – it eventually kills the person and there is nothing anyone can do. Thus, Ronald Rolheiser begins this small, powerful book.
  With chapters also on "Removing the Taboo," "Despair as Weakness Rather than Sin," "Reclaiming the Memory of Our Loved One," and "The Pain of the Ones Left Behind," Fr. Rolheiser offers hope and a new way of understanding death by suicide.

  Unlock the force of hope in life's hardest fights. 
   
   
   
  Good Catastrophe is your blueprint for finding your way out of pain. It is an atypical, no holds barred message of redemptive hope that will breathe new sunshine into your soul. 
   
   
   
  We need to rebrand hope. The era of everything in our lives fitting neatly in a box is done. That world is over. We need hope—but we need a hope that is robust enough to speak to real life. 
   
   
   
  Imagine the tide turning on your greatest challenges and problems. In a gritty and unique take on the story of Job, Benjamin Windle shows that flourishing does not come from a life devoid of loneliness, trauma, and anxiety. It's one lived with hope engineered for adversity. 
   
   
   
  Along with Job's story, he pulls from J. R. R. Tolkien's fascinating concept of "eucatastrophe," showing that your greatest good starts at your point of deepest pain. True hope is not hype. It's not pretending that everything is fine. Hardship, not perfection, is the starting point of hope. 
   
   
   
  Discover the secret to weathering life's storms, learn how to rise above daily imperfections, find out how to survive crises and come out better, and gain an ultimate perspective on every challenge you face in life.

  If what you've been taught to believe about God, the Bible, and the Christian life feels uninspiring or restrictive, Tiny Windows invites you to trade that limited view for an exhilarating and often surprising vision of what it really means to follow Jesus. 
  At some point in their spiritual journey, most Christians find themselves wondering why their faith no longer seems to work the way they've been told it should. Whether disillusioned by superficial Christian culture, frustrated by simplistic answers to difficult questions, or restless for something more profound, maybe you too feel as if your current experience of faith is coming up short. If so, you're in great company. 
  Right from the beginning, God has invited people into a relationship with him that expands, changes, and grows deeper over time, says Soul City teaching pastor Jon Jorgenson. In Tiny Windows he explains why questions, doubts, and curiosity are not dangers to avoid but instead are invitations to look at your faith from a fresh angle. 
  As you shift your perspective to gain a wider view of the Christian life, you'll discover how you can:Stay anchored in essential truths while finding freedom in how you live them outEngage with the Bible not as a how-to manual but as it was designed to be readLove other Christians well even when you don't agree with them 
    
  Experience for yourself a living, breathing faith that breaks open the windows of your soul and reveals a more beautiful, expansive, freeing life with God.
