Stripped: When God's Call Turns From "Yes!" to "Why Me?"

Product Description \nAfter your faith has fractured, let what takes its place be the real thing . . . at last. 
Somewhere along the way, the Christianity you knew began to crumble. You began to suspect your faith was misplaced. Disillusionment set in. Churches hurt you. Their people failed you. Christian institutions were exposed as fake. And in it all, God was silent. Is He gone? Or is God really there, waiting for you to find Him instead of the counterfeits? 
If you’re walking this difficult spiritual path, Lina AbuJamra understands you. After experiencing the near deconstruction of her own faith, Lina had to rebuild something more solid when the faith she once knew let her down. With her diagnostic style that comes from her training as an ER doc, Lina helps you grapple with questions like:\nWhere is God in my pain? 
Is this how Christians are supposed to act? 
Why did my story end up this way? 
Is this the normal Christian life? 
Why is it so hard for Christians to love?\nLet Fractured Faith help you find your way back to God. You just might discover that the real God has been waiting for you all along.\nReview \nPraise for Fractured Faith 
“In Fractured Faith, Lina shows us that doubt, loss, grief, pain, questions, and disappointments can ultimately lead to a strengthened and deepened faith. Lina gives expression to much of the angst that many of us feel but fear naming. Her transparency, authenticity, and biblical insight lead us to a place of ultimate hope and trust in Jesus, and His never-failing love for us.”—CHRISTINE CAINEFounder, A21 & Propel Women 
“In Fractured Faith, Lina AbuJamra—ER doc by training and temperament—narrates her painful winnowing through a pastor’s betrayal, a church’s failure, and a lineup of wolves ready to devour her and whatever other sheep remained. Lina’s journey is messy. Some of the things Lina says in this book make me cringe. Survival comes in fits. It grabs at the dark and grabs at the throat. And in the midst of this, we see grace: ‘the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment’ (2 Peter 2:9). Fractured Faith points to the glory of God in our weakness and to the Lord’s power to keep His true sheep in the grace that we need to finish the race well. Even when our pastors do not measure up. Even when our churches do not measure up. Even when friends prove themselves to be wolves. Even when we do not measure up. Christ always measures up. And that’s the point.”—ROSARIA CHAMPAGNE BUTTERFIELDAuthor, speaker, homeschool mother 
“Fractured Faith is a special book because it details the pain and promise of what it means to be human. Through unpacking her own story, Lina wrestles with many of the deepest questions in one hand while also doing what she does best: holding God’s promises in the other and helping to acknowledge and reframe the pain in a profoundly new light.”—STEVE CARTERPastor, author of The Thing Beneath the Thing 
“We’ve all heard stories of people who have left the church or their faith due to painful circumstances within the body of believers, with people they know and even their experiences with God. If you’ve ever found yourself in this place and felt like you were too hurt to think about beginning again, I truly hope you will pause to read Fractured Faith during this part of your story. In this stunning book, Lina wisely gives voice to the ache many feel. Don’t miss this one.”—LYSA TERKEURST#1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries 
“Stunningly honest. Brilliantly written. Biblically insightful. The questions Lina asks, as she takes us on her journey of deconstructing and then reconstructing her faith, are our questions as well if we dare to be that vulnerable. If you have ever grappled with suffering, doubt, and disappointment in the Christian life, tempted to abandon Christianity completely, read this book. Fractured Faith will inspire you to trust Christ i

Fractured Faith: Finding Your Way Back to God in an Age of Deconstruction

<div> Faithfully walking--and uncovering joy--on a road paved with suffering. The Christian life is marked with great suffering. We live in a fallen and broken world full of disappointments and the loss of dreams. And there is a cost to following Christ--often painfully felt in close relationships. In her book, Still Standing Lina AbuJamra shares how God's refining process makes Him bigger in our hearts and transforms us into people who are like Him. Our pain can lead to despair and bitterness, or it can make us more like Jesus. But we must be willing to undergo the refining process--and this hurts. Lina shows us the truly amazing and beautiful reality that we can have joy amidst the most difficult of circumstances. Without denying the real pain many of us carry, Lina shows Christians how to rediscover joy. She shows us how God's presence is our guarantee for joy no matter what we're going through. Lina looks to current and biblical stories to show us how refined people can be used by God to persevere and build His kingdom. I love talking about God's radical calling of His children and what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, especially when it hurts. If there is one thing that continues to surprise me as I follow Jesus, it's the difficulty of the journey, the unexpected delays, the detours, the disappointments, and the waiting. Despite what I know about God, I still catch myself taken aback by the amount of suffering endured in the pursuit of one's calling. It is my hope that this book inspires hope in the hearts of followers of Jesus who have encountered suffering as they have pursued obedience to Christ. Still Standing is an updated edition, previously published with the title&nbsp;Stripped. </div>

A Table in the Wilderness: A Study on God's Goodness

In Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This, Dr. Lina AbuJamra gives a refreshing and honest look at what it's like to struggle with sexual temptation and shame and how the Church can better support Christians and communities in these challenging and often avoided topics. Are you wondering why you picked up this book? Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me. Maybe you're like me--a good person living a decent life, making a living and working hard. You go to church on Sundays and pray before your meals. But you have a secret, a hidden part of your life that you'd be ashamed for anyone to find out about. I get it. I really do. I have secrets too. The thing with secrets is that they eventually come out. Instead of hiding, let's have a difficult conversation, a real talk about secrets and shame and sex and a lot of things in between. Difficult conversations don't have to be difficult, but they do have to be honest. In Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This, Lina shares her own struggle with sexual temptation with openness and vulnerability. She points out where the church and purity culture have failed our communities. Lina gets real about the excuses we make and the lies we tell ourselves even when our behaviors point to a larger problem. This is a no-holds-barred discussion on why Christians still struggle with sexual sin and what the church needs to be doing to support Christians and the community at large. Most importantly, you'll see that despite our constant failures as humans, Jesus doesn't ask us to be perfect. He just asks us to be His. If you're going to have a difficult conversation, you might as well have it with a doctor.
