Tina Green has counseled scores of couples, helping them stay on track and avoid jumping the gun. Not every couple that begins the race will or should finish the course. But if you finish successfully, then you will know how to really get married. 

You may feel lost in depression, abuse, or unrequited love. You may feel you’ve wandered so far away from the Good Shepherd you can’t return to safe pastures. You can return. In Letters to the Lost Ones: A Testimony Back to God, Jackie Scott shares candidly how her profoundly painful journey of shattered dreams, physical and mental afflictions, and perilous situations was no match for the never-ending love of God toward her. Through compelling, heartfelt letters, Jackie shows how God’s lost sheep can get back to safe pastures. 

As a person burdened with mental illness, do you feel like the church has failed you? Have you or someone you love been shamed by Christians for your emotional pain? Having fought severe anxiety and depression for years, Nancy Zarzar began to question the benevolence and love of the God she had inherited from church tradition. However, she could not tear herself away from the broken, self-sacrificial persona of Jesus, who haunted her heart. In the very crucible of her torment, God began to reveal Himself as the Divine Lover, who gently schooled her in the "heavy art" of a relentless joy.
