Hi everyone,

I am 27 years old and really struggling with depression and lonliness. My heart is really messed up right now. I am in love with a girl who means the world to me but she doesn't feel the same way about me.

I having a really hard time accepting this. I know God put this girl in my life for a reason. She is simply the most honest and God honoring person I have ever met. I having an imposible time, giving up the hope of a future for the two of us. It is tearing my heart apart.

I am trying to trust God more and it is so difficult.

Can anyone recommend a book that would help me in my healing and help me grow to trust God more? There are so many christian books out there, but I am having a hard time finding what I am looking for.

Man in the Mirror was a good book by David Morley. He also has other books that he has author that are good as well. Wayne Dyer is another author you might want to look at. He has written quite a few books, I've enjoyed reading.

It is an older one, but "Where is God when it Hurts."
CS Lewis figure prominently in it, but you could also read some of his other works.

Hi

I would strongly recommend Neil Anderson's books. In particular "Victory Over the Darkness" and "The Bondage Breaker." These give you the core of his teaching on finding freedom in Christ but he has also written a number of other books addressing specific issues including fear, depression and self-image. An excellent book on depression is "A Practical Workbook for the Depressed Christian" by John Lockley. I would also recommend the classic book on trusting God called "The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life" by Hannah Whitall Smith.

"Boundaries" by Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend is a great book with Christian advice about relationships in general. They also have books in the Boundaries series dedicated to dating.

Dear David1978

GOD LOVES you and gave us LOVE LETTERS to read so that we do not suffer lack of a TEACHER, GUIDE, and COMFORTER.

It's called the Bible. No other book can ever come close to being complete like HIS WORD.

IT will the the guiding light in both sad and happy times.

Do not JUST read GOD'S WORD but believe it, trust it, abide by it and pray to GOD for TRUTH, WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING and LOVE.

If you do this you WILL have all you need!!!

The mating season can bring such extreme feelings of happiness and sadness. There are many older folks that JUST WISH they could have those feelings again.

THAT MEANS YOU ARE ALIVE!!!

SO REMEMBER:

X Even though you can't see him, GOD is there!!! O
( click on the x and drag to the O ) ( then see who is with you ) steven
