The 2014 Christianity Today Book Award Winner (Her.meneutics)
Winner of a 2013 Leadership Journal Book Award ("Our Very Short
List" in "The Leader's Outer Life" category) Mental illness is the
sort of thing we don't like to talk about. It doesn't reduce nicely
to simple solutions and happy outcomes. So instead, too often we
reduce people who are mentally ill to caricatures and ghosts, and
simply pretend they don't exist. They do exist, however--statistics
suggest that one in four people suffer from some kind of mental
illness. And then there's their friends and family members, who
bear their own scars and anxious thoughts, and who see no safe
place to talk about the impact of mental illness on their lives and
their loved ones. Many of these people are sitting in churches week
after week, suffering in stigmatized silence. InTroubled Minds Amy
Simpson, whose family knows the trauma and bewilderment of mental
illness, reminds us that people with mental illness are our
neighbors and our brothers and sisters in Christ, and she shows us
the path to loving them well and becoming a church that loves God
with whole hearts and whole souls, with the strength we have and
with minds that are whole as well as minds that are troubled.
