Flying Backwards: Jon's Story of Ultimate Healing from Mental Illness

by Nina Johnson Haines, Erin Haines (Illustrator), Alexandra Clair (Editor)

"Flying Backwards" chronicles a son's struggle with a developing mental illness; the bias of those he came into contact with, and his parent's relentless battle to fight for him and see him accomplish far more than the professional community ever predicted.

Nina writes; "Our family's story is about living with a developing mental illness which was eventually diagnosed as schizoaffective disorder; a chronic and serious illness that provoked fear in those who could not see beyond the disease to the true personality of our beloved son, Jon. Our story begins, not at that place where a cruel fate scripted a tragic outcome, but where God's love began a journey of purpose and hope impacting many lives for His glory."

Alexandra writes; "This is a riveting account that will change lives, shatter prejudice, and open the Faith Community to see mental illness very differently. I commend Nina and Mark Haines for inviting us into their most private of moments as they charted unknown terrritory and allowed God to mature and grow their faith. Once started the reader will not be able to put this book down."
