Did you know that one in five persons, including members of the church, will suffer from a mental illness in any given year? This means that many churches will have families who are affected. This second entry in a two-volume set about mental illness will help you respond to these difficult circumstances, directing Christian brothers and sisters to the care and support they need while 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. Author Dr. Stephen M. Saunders 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 conversation on mental illness, prepare for crisis management, recognize the need for professional treatment, assist the loved ones, and share with everyone impacted the spiritual comfort that only comes God's Word.
As he did in Volume 1, Saunders demonstrates a thorough understanding of essential Christian teachings throughout Volume 2. Both church leaders and church members will find assistance and encouragement in this book as they reach out to their friends and family members affected by mental illness.
