Hiding in the Pews

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In his book Hiding in the Pews, Steve Austin provides a word of hope and encouragement to those who've experienced pain and suffering at the intersection of mental illness and the church. All I need--all any of us need, really--is a compassionate heart and a willingness to listen without judgment or the need to try to fix the situation. Steve's book is a reminder for all of us that the ministry of presence is one of the most helpful things we can offer to anyone in need of healing.”
