This book treats the often neglected questions that confront Christians when they encounter mental illness, either in themselves or those they love. How can God be good and allow mental illness? Why does he sometimes not answer prayer the way we would like? Is suicide wrong? Kathryn Greene-McCreight is eminently qualified to address such questions as she is both an Episcopal priest and a sufferer of bipolar disorder. Drawing on the Bible, Christian tradition, and her own experience, she offers practical insights and encouraging reflections on this difficult topic.
The first edition has been widely acknowledged as a classic on the subject of mental illness. This revised edition includes the latest research findings in addition to anecdotal and pastoral insights.
