Faith and Major Mental Illness
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“In a Christian culture that too often ignores or silences the voices of those who live with major mental health challenges, it is important to listen to those who witness both to the challenges of mental illness and to the goodness and faithfulness of God. Marcia Murphy does this frankly, unsentimentally, and occasionally provocatively, and also reminds us of the goodness and power of human decency and respect.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“With the nuanced perspective of a theologian and ordained minister who is also a psychiatric nurse, John Swinton offers here a rich ‘theology that drops down into the heart’ for people who live with mental health challenges. Refusing to reduce people to their neurons or to the labels that are assigned to them, he introduces us to the complex, lived experiences of real people as they live, wonder, worship, and love amid mental health challenges. In their close-to-the-ground stories, we find not only lament and loss but also joy, kindness, and grace. Finding Jesus in the Storm will challenge and bless all who care about the relationship between mental health and the life of Christian faith.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“It is good for Christians to seek care for mental health problems. But Matthew Loftus argues that good therapy doesn't reduce us to passive victims of circumstance or diagnosis, trapped in therapy culture. Rather, good therapy equips and encourages us to face challenges, grow through suffering, tend relationships, and cultivate the ability to act toward what is good, true, and beautiful. Loftus's book is an important reminder to clinicians and to those who seek care that mental health therapy at its best must promote agency and freedom.”
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Anxiety anticipates loss. Loss is unavoidable. But in a hopeful and personal book, Curtis Chang argues that we are held even in our loss and anxiety by a God who loves us and who will make all things new. I was encouraged by Chang’s description of prayer, grieving, and community as holding practices that can replace the avoidance habits that lock us into anxiety. This book is a practical guide that is also a witness to grace.”
