Book Reviews

“Life, In Spite of Me is a remarkable story of life beyond despair and hope that triumphs over tragedy.” 
   — Louie Giglio, pastor, Passion City Church/The Passion Movement

“Suicide is a liar and a thief. It promises peace to those who are escaping but delivers unimaginable pain and rejection to those left behind. Kristen Jane Anderson’s riveting story unmasks the thief and gives hope a face.”
   — Dr. Dennis Rainey, President, FamilyLife Ministries

“When I first met Kristen, I was overwhelmed with her smile, and then I saw her wheelchair. It was a defining moment for me. I had not heard her story or why she’d ended up at Moody. But it was her smile—and it is still her smile—that dismantles me. Kristen has something. It is something otherworldly. She had every reason to die, but now she has every reason to live. I hope you’ll read her story, see her smile, and know why she lives.”
   — Michael Easley, Former President, Moody Bible Institute

5 Things You Can Do To Help Yourself

March 1, 2022

1. Talk to a trusted friend about how you are feeling, and ask for their help.

2. Find a Counselor who has experience helping others with the things you have been struggling with.

3. Find a good Church where you can get connected and find more support!

​3. Make sure you are getting enough sleep each night. Studies show this can makes a notable impact in our mood. 

4. Eat a balanced diet. Nutritional deficiencies can often lead to fatigue and depression in men, women and children. 


5. Start talking to God more often about how you are feeling and what you are needing. He knows you better than anyone and will be a great help!
