Publisher's Description
You're not alone, you're not crazy, and there is a God who is with you even in your suffering. For those of us feeling the weight of mental illness, we need more than the hope that our pain will go away. We need hope that even if our pain persists, God is still good, and he promises never to leave us. This book offers that hope.

“Aaron Hoover has written an engaging, hopeful book for anyone living with depression, anxiety or suicidal thoughts – especially for Christ-followers who might carry the unnecessary weight of guilt and shame. His honest, vulnerable account of his story as a pastor with mental health challenges dispels the false narrative that pastors don’t feel ‘that way.’ The truth is – many of us do. Aaron shares the practical help he has found along the way, as well as the confident hope that even in our suffering, God is still good and can be trusted.”
“Vulnerability and hope is a powerful combination. Aaron writes with an abundance of both. Growing up in a family that struggled with mental health, I nodded as I read. I smiled. I laughed out loud a few times. And I got teary more than a few. This is such a helpful, timely, and hope-filled read! There’s a lot of things in life that are over-rated…hope is not one of them.”
“This book is an honest dialogue of hope and validation for every Christian struggling with anxiety and depression. The stories and conversation Aaron brings let readers know that authentic faith and community are available and within reach for anyone struggling with mental health. His voice as a pastor whose faith is strong and compassionate meets an essential need on this topic in the Christian community.”
“Not only do I wholeheartedly recommend this book, I wish I could somehow wave some magic wand and have it read by the thousands upon thousands of people—suffering in silence—who need to know they are not alone in their fight. I pray this gets to them. I also pray that every leader who serves in the name of Jesus would slow down and pay attention to Aaron’s hard-earned wisdom. It could save lives.”
