Description
Everyone knows someone who suffers from anxiety, depression, or another form of mental illness, but a stigma around mental health remains – especially in the church. Ryan Casey Waller–pastor, therapist, and cosufferer – has experienced firsthand the jarring dissonance of wrestling with mental health while trying to maintain a vibrant Christian faith. It can be a discouraging, lonely battle. But it doesn’t have to be.
In this book, Waller emphasizes that mental health issues are not a symptom of a spiritual failing or insufficient faith; rather, suffering is the very thing our Savior seeks to heal as he leads us toward restoration.
Combining practical theology, clinical insights, and deep compassion, Waller invites readers to:
- See why we need conversations in the church about mental health and how to have them
- Discover why seeking knowledge about one’s self is critical to growing deeper in relationship with God
- Understand the basics of brain health, the intersection of biology and spirituality, and why emotional intelligence deserves more attention
- Learn practical steps such as how to find a therapist, distinguish between a psychiatrist and a psychologist, and afford treatment
- Become equipped to support loved ones with mental illness while promoting healthy self-care.
