Anxiety, depression, mania, suicide attempts, and societal fears are not beyond God’s reach. One in five people struggles with a mental health condition. In this more-than-your-usual devotional book, the stigma of mental illness is challenged as the authors team up to provide transparent devotions on touchy subjects using real experiences. Two viewpoints are expressed: one from an individual with mental illness, the other from a friend, mentor, and advocate.
