This compilation of essays by various authors – theologians, pastors, counsellors, and laypersons – originated at two conferences in Jordan, Ontario in 2022. Reformed Fellowship is very glad to now make this material accessible in written form.
Speaking often from first-hand experience, the authors address a variety of issues and collectively call for a Biblically holistic approach to body and soul in relationship to mental health. This will make an invaluable resource for all seeking a better understanding of what the Bible has to say on this timely topic.
"If you have ever experienced hopelessness in the pit of despair or if you love someone struggling in that pit, this book is a balm for your weary soul."
- Terri Pols, Christian counsellor
"Heartfelt thanks to the editors of this collection for providing help in understanding mental illness, in equipping to minister to those struggling with mental illness, and in generating discussions on mental illness in the local church community."
- Dr. Tom J. Karel, Psychiatrist
I am so glad I read this book. It clarified my thinking and helped me understand situations in my own life experience. Highly recommend!
- Sandy Veurink, editor, wife & mother
