You Are Not Forgotten: Hope Despite Depression

This small digital book will bring hope, both to those who struggle with depression, and those who love someone struggling with depression (and anyone who occasionally can’t find their way).

This is not a lofty theological treatise, but truths and grace from God I have had to believe to face my day-to-day. It’s filled with comfort and Scriptural insight.

Depression is not your fault. More than that, you are the best kind of hero, because what you are going through is invisible to most. Know that Christ sees and is proud beyond words!

On My Worst Day

The updated edition (published November 2020) includes 40 new stories, and 50% new content!

Not a moment of your life has been left to chance.
Not a moment have you been uncared for. 

Many of us stumbled into Jesus and discovered the one we’d been searching for our entire lives—whether we knew it or not. Now that we’ve found Him though, it’s hard not to wonder where He was before... Where was He on our worst days? Were we as overwhelmingly alone as we felt? 

What if every single moment of every single day—He had been magnificently redeeming your worst days into your best ones? What if redemption wasn’t a tenet of cold theology, but instead, a relationship of love that was formed most deeply, not when you were on your game, but when you couldn’t seem to make sense of almost anything? 

The hope-infused pages of On My Worst Day reveal the redemption you’ve longed for.

Discover firsthand how the narrative of your life changes as you dare to believe that your worst days do not define you. With each impactful story, you will be awakened to the undeniable power of the cross that sets you free. 

Whether for the first time or the first time in a long time, you will encounter the voice of God, who has adored you from the beginning and you will hear His words to you: You are enough, My child. Surpassingly enough.

 

 

The Cure: What if God isn't who you think He is and neither are you?

By John Lynch, Bruce McNicol, and Bill Thrall

The Cure gives the diagnosis of this century’s religious obsession with sin-management. It has poisoned the Church, obscuring the Original Good News and sending millions away, wounded, angry and cynical, from nearly any organized expression of faith. This newly designed format of The Cure offers an authentic experience in Christ that frees some from a self-rewarded righteousness, and others from a beaten down striving for a righteousness they can never seem to attain. The Cure infuses a relational theology of grace and identity, which alone can heal, free and create sustainable, genuine, loving, life-giving communities.


Bo's Café: A Novel

By John Lynch, Bill Thrall, and Bruce McNicol

Then an eccentric mystery man named Andy Monroe befriends Steven and begins unravelling his tightly wound world. Andy leads Steven through a series of frustrating and revealing encounters to repair his life through genuine friendship and the grace and love of a God who has been waiting for him to accept it. A story to challenge and encourage, Bo’s Cafe is a model for all who struggle with unresolved problems and a performance-based life. Those who desire a fuller, more authentic way of living will find this journey of healing a restorative exploration of God's unbridled grace.
