Mental illness is now in the public domain more than ever before. Moreover, in our churches we are coming face-to-face with brothers and sisters struggling with mental illness. Unfortunately, some are doing so alone and in silence.
This easy-to-read book is written by a psychiatrist to help those involved in church ministry. Its aim is to help readers understand what mental illness is, the range of conditions, causes and treatments. Alan Thomas does this by using a medical and biblical framework, with case studies to bring to life various situations. He handles the difficult issue of mental illness and personal responsibility well.
