In You Are Free (Even if You Don't Feel Like It) award-winning
campaigner Hope Virgo opens up about her own journey with mental
health and illness. With powerful honesty, she relates her
experiences from being sexually abused in her youth group when she
was just 13 and admitted to a mental health hospital with a failing
heart at 17, to feeling like she was ready to end it all at 28 -
when a new hope found her after a stranger told her about Jesus.
Raw and relatable, this is more than a memoir, as Hope draws on her
own story to offer advice and guidance to those living and
struggling with their own mental health and wellbeing. Sharing what
she has learned, Hope candidly lays out how she worked through her
rage, hurt, disappointments and doubts to help others dealing with
the ongoing stigma and shame that still follows mental health
issues around. She also reveals the power that the Christian faith
has had in her life, looking at how mental and spiritual care go
hand in hand, especially in the face of confusion that sometimes
God chooses not to heal us - or at least, not in the way we expect.
Featuring interviews with Rachel Hughes, Matt Hogg, Zeke Rink,
Jemimah Haley and many more, You Are Free (Even If You Don't Feel
Like It) is a thought-provoking and heartfelt self-help book that
will speak to anyone who has struggled with their mental health, in
the church and outside of it, and to anyone interested in how the
Christian faith can offer hope even in the darkest of times. A
testimony both to the resilience of the human spirit and to the
power of God, Hope's is an understanding voice for all those in the
midst of their struggles, offering support and encouragement that
they too will find their way on to the path towards healing.
