How many people suffer from mental illness?
Did you know that one in five people, including Christians, will suffer from a mental illness in any given year? This shocking statistic means that many churches will have families who are affected by and struggling with mental illness.
This second entry in a two-volume set about mental illness by Dr. Stephen Saunders will help you respond to these difficult circumstances and directing Christian brothers and sisters to the care and support they need, while also reminding them of their Savior's love.
A Christian Guide to Mental Illness, Volume 2 details how core ideas about mental illnesses and their treatments have changed over time. The book also offers guidance to pastors and church workers who wish to provide practical assistance to the people they serve.
You will learn how to begin the vitally important conversation on mental illness, prepare for crisis management, recognize the need for professional treatment, assist loved ones, and share with everyone impacted by mental illness the spiritual comfort that only comes from God's Word.
As he did in Volume 1, Dr. Saunders demonstrates in this book a thorough understanding of essential Christian teachings. Both church leaders and church members will find assistance and encouragement in this book as they reach out to family and friends affected by mental illness.
