  An empowering invitation to leave complex shame behind, forgive yourself, and live free from the burden of secrecy–by a clinical psychologist with an inspiring personal story.

  Do you ever feel like your past is holding you hostage? As if the mistakes you’ve made, the pain you’ve endured, or the burdens you carry are too heavy to release?

  You’re not alone.

  In Stronger in the Difficult Places, Dr. Zoe Shaw opens her heart and her expertise to guide you through the healing process. Offering unflinching honesty but compassionate care, Dr. Zoe shares her own journey of breaking free from complex shame.

  With wisdom rooted in psychology, science, and faith, Dr. Zoe helps you untangle the stories shame has written over your life so you can embrace freedom. Through personal reflection and practical tools, you will learn how to:

  – recognize and name your shame story, understanding how it has shaped your self-worth
  – break free from false narratives that keep you playing small and doubting your value
  – set healthy emotional and relational boundaries that protect your peace
  – forgive yourself and embrace self-compassion without guilt or hesitation
  – rewrite your future with strength, resilience, and a sense of unshakable worth

  You don’t have to live weighed down by your past. Let Dr. Zoe sit with you in your struggles, walk with you through your story, and show you how Stronger in the Difficult Places can be your road map to healing, self-acceptance, and the freedom to live fully as the person you were always meant to be.

  Hope Hurt And Healing

  $17.99

  In her early 20’s, Catherine Renfro received a phone call no one should have. In broken hopelessness, her brother, Barrett, called out with despair before taking his own life. She and her father would rush over to his home only to find out that he was no longer with them.
  Catherine went through a season of grief that hundreds of thousands of people endure every year in America. But even in the midst of anger, depression, and guilt, she would say that Christ never left her.

  In Hope, Hurt, and Healing, Catherine Renfro addresses the reality of loss, the feeling of brokenness, the guilt of living on while also pointing to the hope of the gospel, the peace of relying on Christ, and the trusting in God even during the broken seasons. She offers a real look at suicide loss, but she does not simply live in the despair. Instead, she uses her own life to point people to Christ and lean on his goodness to discover hope for the present and healing for the future.

  Make Sense Of Your Story

  $66.65

  Looking back at painful stories from the past seems counterproductive, especially when it appears unrelated to our present lives. But what if exploring our past stories can help us make sense of where we are now and begin to imagine who we would like to become? Rather than ignoring, suppressing, or running from our past hurts, looking at our stories of heartache and how they have shaped us helps make sense of who we are now and points the way to freedom and meaningful change.

  In Make Sense of Your Story, trauma therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker Adam Young helps you explore your personal story so you can understand how your experiences have shaped your brain–which, in turn, allows you to understand why your present day-to-day life looks and feels the way it does. He shows you how to confront and process the story of your family of origin, your sexual story, the story your body is telling you, your cultural story, your story with God, and more with kindness rather than judgment so that you can experience healing, self-acceptance, and release.

  The secret to making sense of your present life is understanding your past experiences. And if you want to change the narrative, you have to engage your story.

  Anticipating Heaven : Spiritual Comfort And Practical Wisdom For Life’s Fin

  $19.99

  Is there a way to walk into the final chapters of life with peace and confidence, and with support and wisdom?

  We all are living an earthly story with a beginning, middle, and end. While aspects of our story’s closing hold mystery, we do not have to feel lost as we move toward it. We instead can lean on the support and wisdom of others who know the path ahead.

  In Anticipating Heaven, she offers that same practical advice and spiritual comfort to you and your loved ones as you navigate a serious illness.

  Drawing on her years of experience and strong faith, Dr. Pyle will share inspiring patient stories and clear guidance, helping you to:

  *navigate the world of healthcare with confidence,
  *prepare an end-of-life plan with peace,
  *remember your heavenly destination with hope,
  *embrace the final chapters with love, and
  *anticipate the presence of God and your glorified body with joy.

  Clarity can replace chaos. Assurance can overcome uncertainty. And love can conquer fear. You are not alone on this path. You are leaving the land of the dying and entering the land of the living, a place God calls home. As one story is closing, a bright new one is beginning.

  When Faith Meets Therapy

  $19.99

  Now available in trade paper!

  The power of faith intersects with the practicality of counseling in this unique partnership of a faith/worship leader and a therapist as they offer a pathway for readers to find help, hope, healing, and freedom while navigating life’s struggles.

  No one is immune from life’s difficulties, yet many people are reluctant to talk about mental health or seek professional help when they are struggling. People of faith who are battling issues such as anxiety, depression, life changes, stress, or relationship problems may suffer in silence, believing things would get better if only their faith was stronger, they prayed more, or if they had more self-discipline. The stigma about needing to seek help is all too real.

  But seeking professional help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign that someone is serious about moving forward emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. Written by producer, artist, and author Anthony Evans, along with licensed psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser, When Faith Meets Therapy:

  *Dispels the cultural myths and stigmas that surround professional therapy

  *Shares stories from the authors’ personal experiences and others who are facing life’s challenges

  *Provides practical steps that readers can take in the pursuit of emotional, relational, and spiritual progress

  Anthony and Stacy met five years ago when Anthony was seeking emotional and relational healing of his own. Stacy led Anthony through his own process of internal renovation and remains his personal therapist to this day.

  When Faith Meets Therapy contains priceless, practical knowledge to break stereotypes that surround therapy, all while offering immeasurable hope and encouragement.
