As the mother of one of the children who died at Sandy Hook school in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012, Alissa Parker had her world shattered by a mass murderer's rampage. She was left to make sense of her daughter's life and death and to rebuild, seeking a deeply spiritual path to carry on with her life and find new meaning and purpose. As a co-founder of SafeandSoundSchools.org, a touring national advocacy group that helps people take action to make schools safer, Alissa has talked to hundreds of parents around the country about her ordeal and how she was able to endure the unspeakable horror of Sandy Hook. An Unseen Angeltakes readers though Alissa's complete journey, chronicling the moment-by-moment account of the day that began with every parent's worst nightmare: hearing, "There's been a shooting at your child's school." It follows her faith-filled spiritual path to coping, healing, forgiving, and eventually feeling gratitude for the life and love of her daughter Emilie. She describes a bond of love between a mother and daughter that is so profound it transcends the physical body and touches Alissa and the people who loved Emilie who feel her presence every day. And she articulates her deep Christian faith, which guided the answers to Alissa's gut-wrenching, post-tragedy questioning: "Where is Emilie now?" "Can love transcend the physical body?" "How can I know that Emilie is in a better place?" "How do I deal with the 'here and now' when the pain and anger I feel is so overwhelming?" This is the first book about the school-shooting tragedies with a focus on faith and spirituality. As we learn Alissa's story, we are introduced to a special little girl who was wise beyond her years and whose lessons about life and the transcendent power of love continued even after she had passed away."
In The Sins of an Angel: The Linmore Chronicles, Angelica Angel Hampton-Madison recalls the ups and downs of her life to a priest, hoping for guidance into a growing dilemma. Throughout life, Angel has been dealt a difficult hand. Following the death of Angels parents, growing up on the wrong side of the tracks with her grandparents Blanche and Charles Franklin in the small community of Linmore, Indiana, was a challenge. But her relationship with Daniel Madison is a glimmer of hope for the red-haired beauty. However, the Madison family has its own sinister secrets. Matriarch Elva Madison, who has been a nagging sore in the Franklin familys side before Angel was born, rules with a venomous tongue and an iron hand. Quickly alienated in an abusive marriage, Angel finds herself struggling with Daniels increasing rage and intolerance while trying to preserve a relationship with her two daughters, who are taught to detest and disregard their mother by Elvas relentless meddling. Confronted with the daunting decision of whether to stay and hope for the best or venture out into the unknown alone, Angel discovers a radical third path while watching a newscast about recent carjackings that she believes will rekindle the magic her marriage once had. Angel is further confused when a familiar source of happiness reenters her life while waiting for the situation to turn the way she is hoping for. Meanwhile, the investigation into Angels mysterious disappearance and potential murder engulfs the community of Linmore, who have been aware of the Madison familys dark secrets the entire time. Once all the drama unfolds and she is done bearing her soul to the priest, Angel is left with a simple decision; turn left or right, unsure where the new paths will take her.

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.
