Description

John Swinton explores the complex relationship between mental health and faith in this thought-provoking book. Drawing on the experiences of 30 Christians with severe mental health challenges, he argues that theological understanding is essential for effective care.

Swinton contends that therapy and pharmacology alone are insufficient to address the spiritual dimensions of mental illness, and instead advocates for a more holistic approach that prioritises listening to the lived experiences of those affected. The result is a book that offers new perspectives on care, healing, recovery, and community.

This book presents a lifegiving hope for everyone navigating the challenges of mental health, focusing on the people rather than just their symptoms. By exploring the intersection of faith and mental illness, Swinton provides a fresh and compassionate understanding of what it means to live with severe mental health problems.
