    Balanced and Biblical - recommending to leaders
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2017*

Persons who suffer from mental illness dare not reveal it in most conservative Christian churches.  They simply don't feel accepted or supported. Dr. Stanford's writing is a breath of fresh air for them. I am passing my copy on to my pastor.  I would recommend it to any Christian who cares about people.  It is written from a Biblical/bio/psychological/social model.  The problem tends to arise because if someone is say, depressed, it is often blamed on not being close to Christ, unconfessed sin, etc.  What is forgotten is the brain is a highly complex organ, subject to the fall out of the fall, as are the rest of our organs, and all of creation, for that matter.  There's a lot that can go wrong.  It's amazing that any of us are 'normal'.  This book is not a comprehensive text, but hopefully will help us to treat our wounded much more compassionately and in a humble and informed matter.  I would think that most who suffer want to be accepted and not immediately judged.  The stigma attached to mental illness is sky high in the church.  That is the opposite response that Christ calls us to.

    Comforting, Knowledgeable and Biblical
  

*by E***H on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2014*

Grace. Needed by so many people who suffer with mental illnesses. Experienced by so few. If you are looking for a book that represents a sensible and realistic approach to mental illness, this is the book for you. The author sets the stage by explaining why people suffer through mental illness and what that suffering can and does look like. He doesn't shy away from the difficult parts of mental illness- for the person suffering, the family, and the community that could, but often doesn't, help them. I loved how he incorporates biblical truth with science and medicine. I feel like the Christian community does not understand mental illness and does not want to wrestle with the subject. Yes, it is a difficult topic, but with so many suffering from illnesses in silence, Christians aught to be on the forefront of the fight- armed with knowledge and compassion. I don't have a mental illness, but as a wife of someone with a mental illness and a Christian looking for insight and guidance, this book was filled with the wisdom I was looking for. God is our Healer, but he has used many different tools to treat illness. My hope for people reading this book is that they come way from it putting into practice a life of grace for those who are suffering.

    Seek and ye shall find!
  

*by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2021*

I am a Christian who has suffered from melancholic depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. If you or you know someone who is suffering from mental trama, this book will be a big help and supply hope for those in need. The author is a neurologist and discusses both the physiological and psychological aspect of mental and emotional affliction. I suffered this over 20 years ago and went thru shock therapy and was on about 20 different meds at one time. There is hope, but you need to know where to look and this is a good start. He has written two books and both are excellent.
