With 1.4 million copies in print and as a NewYork Times and USAToday bestseller, 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper has made a difference in how many people view life and Heaven. As the third book in The Powder Room series, Reflections From the Powder Room on 90 Minutes in Heaven exposes real-life-serious and not-so-serious discussion about life, death, and everything in between. Readers will enjoy journeying along with four women whose beliefs, ideas, and experiences are as different as the lipstick they wear and the lives they lead. Realizing that discussions about the afterlife, eternity, immorality, and the hereafter have for centuries sparked intellectual deliberations, religious arguments, and personal introspection, they tackle these topics with all the finesse their stilettos (and pink bunny slippers) will allow. There is no doubt these wikipowderroom-type cliff notes about 90 Minutes in Heaven will create conversation in book clubs, classrooms, and kitchens as readers question their views about life and death, as well as Heaven and hell.

Christians have been debating about drinking alcohol for decades. From some churches using wine during Communion to others strictly prohibiting any use, from Christians brewing beer at home to those advocating complete abstinence, this controversial subject touches cultures and consciences worldwide. These reflections from book four in the Powder Room not only uncork myths and mire, but also add bubbly banter and intoxicating intrigue to decades’ worth of dilemmas. Yes, Jesus drank wine, but was it “purified water” as some contend? Yes, the Bible says not to be drunkards, but does that include a beer while watching a football game? Yes, some people become alcoholics, but not everyone. Thoroughly considered—in a Thoroughly-Modern-Millie kind of way—are all aspects of this Christian dilemma including current, historical, biblical, medical, spiritual, emotional, physical, and even criminal issues. Written not to condone or condemn, a variety of views are brought to the table and served with flair, foaming with robust flavors and fizz!

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
