When Life Isn't Fair: Making Sense Out of Suffering By Joel Freeman It is perhaps the most-asked question in any time period: "Why does God allow suffering?" Certainly, every human experiences pain and rejection. If the difficulty is long-term, one can almost be driven mad with grief or anger. We want to know why. Physical and emotional problems are so draining, we become obsessed with "fairness." How do we reconcile our concept of a powerful, loving God with the fact of child death? Or greed? Divorce? Often, we don't. That is exactly where Joel Freeman finds many of the people he counsels. Rather than giving pat answers, he relies on spiritual tools to deal with pain. It's a method that has worked remarkably well, and one that can indeed help you or a loved one through a personal valley. .More Books and Resources Helpful to Those Dealing With Addictions, Abuse or Emotional Pain.

Eating Disorders, Weight Issues.

Thin Enough: My Spiritual Journey Through the Living Death of an Eating Disorder By Sheryle Cruse As a young girl desperate to feel loved and worthy, Sheryle Cruse decided she could win the love she lacked if she could only be perfect. Finding comfort in food, she began a hopeless struggle with her weight. After a series of failed diets beginning at age seven, she finally was able to lose weight during high school. She seemed to be realizing her dreams. The thrill of control she felt, though, led her on a self-destructive course of anorexia and then bulimia. Six-hour exercise regimens beginning at midnight and a 600-calorie-per-day diet become a "necessary" way of life for her. When she broke down and allowed herself the comfort of food, her eating binges required her to begin the self-punishment cycle all over again. When Sheryle had sunk to the depths of despair, Jesus spoke to her through a simple Bible story. She experienced God's patient, healing love and finally discovered the truth. She could never be perfect, but she could be a beloved daughter--deeply loved and valued by God who created her and accepts her just as she is. The teen and college years are a crucial time for girls, when positive or negative views about their bodies often become manifest. Written to eating disorder sufferers who are between the ages of 12 and 25, this book provides hope that, through faith and trust in God, they can rise above the living death of eating disorders and become God's daughters, full of life with a promising future. Each chapter includes a prayer for the sufferer, asking God's help .More Books and Resources Helpful to Those Dealing With Addictions, Abuse or Emotional Pain.
