Nearly everyone is touched by mental illness – directly or indirectly – at some point. 1 in 4 people are suffering from a mental illness at any time, and the figure is higher for those who have at some point during their life. Antipsychotics are the best-selling class of drugs in the US. Nearly every church has recognized mental illness in its congregation, and yet the vast majority do nothing to care for those suffering, and don’t know how to care for them. Some can even make it worse. Ours is supposed to be a community where the hurting, broken and sin-scarred find rest and redemption; where everyone present owns up to being a hurting, broken and sin-scarred individual, rescued from the ultimate death, the ultimate suffering – which we deserve – by the grace of God. An outstanding and challenging book. Some things I don’t think of as mental illness and there are things we can address and help people manage. I think our Lutheran theology helps us address this in a meaningful manner. I am convicted for not having been aware of sensitive enough. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

In Troubled 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. -- Publisher.
