I received this book from the publisher through their book launch program and was not required to write a positive review.
As soon as I read Sarah’s note that my, the reader’s, safety is more important than finishing the book I knew this wasn’t going to be like any other book. The pages are full of grace, vulnerability, and validation for both fellow sufferers and those who love them.
Sarah guides the reader through her mental health struggles sharing profound insight she’s collected along the way. In some ways our stories are similar, but in a lot of ways they’re different. She is quick to acknowledge those differences and there’s this magic in the way she shares her pain and heart that makes me feel like there’s space for my pain (and others) alongside hers.
Part three was my least favorite, as my own unresolved story came bubbling to the surface. It took me a long time to get through, but I kept reminding myself of Sarah’s wisdom to take care of myself first. I mention this because I imagine that many readers will have a similar moment at some point while reading. This book isn't a solution. It's a companion for the journey, whether that journey lasts a season or a lifetime. I know this book will have a permanent spot on my bookshelf for years to come.
Finally, if you are someone who doesn’t relate to the title I still highly recommend reading it. Not only is there wisdom for all seasons in its pages, chances are there is someone in your life who loves Jesus but wants to die.
