I believe that Jesus Christ speaks to us every day, in ways we sometimes don't understand. We may be locked into our own agenda that we neglect Jesus' purpose for our lives. What I have written here is to be taken as our Lord speaking his will into our lives. After several attempts by others to 'save my soul', I bought a bible and began my own investigation of the matter. The more I read my bible, the more convinced I become that Jesus Christ really is the Son of God. He came to save us, for sure. But more importantly, he came to show us how we have gotten off track by allowing our own will to separate us from God.

What causes clinical depression? Should Christians suffer from  clinical depression? Is it wrong for Christians to go to psychiatrists? Are medications for mental or emotional disorders dangerous? Is depending on medical treatments for depression in conflict with faith?Chris Robinson addresses these questions and more in Chosen in the Furnace. Chris writes of her journey through the labyrinth of clinical depression and relates her difficulties in dealing with the emotional disorder due to strong preconceived ideas. Throughout the book, her husband and coauthor, Jim, provides clinical information about depression and theological insights regarding the Christian faith.Over the years, Chris has found that God has not always given quick and easy answers to her questions. Even so, He has provided sufficient understanding and encouragement that enables her to go on.Chosen in the Furnace is written so that others who struggle with clinical depression will be strengthened by finding they are not alone in their “furnace of affliction.” With God’s help, they too can go on.

Kissimmee, Florida traces its name to the Jororo tribe, among the first to settle along the river valley. Riverboat captains, entrepreneurs, and speculators found Kissimmee and nearby Lake Tohopekaliga irresistible, and soon settlers followed. The 1880s marked this city''s first brush with tourism, as the Tropical Hotel became the largest resort hotel south of Jacksonville. As the cattle town struggled to survive floods, the Depression, and downtown neglect in favor of spillover Walt Disney World business, committed citizens fought back and spiritedly rekindled the town into a favored tourist spot.
