By focusing upon Jesus and his way of doing things, Moorehead offers a vision for a practice of repentance that helps us address all the ways we separate ourselves from God, while avoiding \"the ruts of self-absorption and self-analysis that are so prevalent in our time and culture.\" In \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eGet Over Yourself; God s Here!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e we -- as individuals and as small groups -- will embark on a journey of repentance that saves us from ourselves and frees us for a vibrant life with God\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"St. Mark's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45409281442087,"sku":"000029","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/7419\/1143\/files\/Getoveryourself.jpg?v=1693425558"},{"product_id":"between-two-worlds","title":"Between Two Worlds: Daily Readings for Advent","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdvent―the season in which we prepare for the coming of the Savior―provokes a certain ambivalence among modern believers.

In the meantime, we are left living between those two worlds.

The Bible does say that Mary was possessed by demons, and that Jesus healed her. Today, we would call Mary’s problem not possession but a mental health condition. Author Kate Moorehead Carroll says, “A saint is someone who walks ahead of us, guides us, and keeps us on the path to life . . . . For us, they are role models. Like us, they struggled and journeyed, but they drew closer and each one of them carved out a different path to God. “It is my hope and prayer that by telling the truth of her story, Mary Magdalene might take her rightful place as the guide for those of us who struggle with mental health issues (and if we are truly honest, that means each and every one of us) . . . . It is time for us to let her show us her beautiful, unique, and sometimes frightening path to true health.
