Perfectionism, Depression, Rest

Perfectionism

When do high standards become enslaving rather than God-glorifying? Lou Priolo explores several definitions of perfectionism to give a full-orbed, biblically nuanced picture. Using thirty-one devotional readings—supplemented with exercises, checklists, and action points—set aside all-or-nothing thinking and learn how to reprogram your conscience using biblical principles. You will find peace and freedom in God’s Word. Purchase on Amazon.


Depression
The gospel is for those who have nothing, for those who are weary and bowed down. Jesus is near to you, and he asks you to bring him nothing but your failures, sins, and emptiness of soul. In thirty-one wise, deeply empathetic devotional readings, biblical counselor Ed Welch helps you to understand the darkness you are experiencing, to take the next small step that is possible for you today, to converse with Jesus honestly amid your pain—and ultimately to hear Christ’s words of compassion.

Rest

God wants us to rest. In fact, he designed us to need to rest, and he commanded us to rest as an expression of our freedom as his people. So why do we have such a hard time pausing to find refreshment and renewed strength? Biblical counselor Heather Nelson diagnoses the patterns of thinking that lead us to reject rest and helps us, over thirty-one days, to develop a plan for rest that is biblical and tailored to our own specific context and needs.
