A Gentle Touch: Christians and Mental Illness

by John Ting

Mental illness is not necessarily something spiritual that can be prayed away, but often is something pathological that may benefit from medical and psychological intervention. The author, who has himself experienced clinical depression, explains how we can care for and help those who are mentally unwell — with compassion and gentleness. This book also contains many biblical examples and real-life testimonies that would be a helpful resource to patients and caregivers, friends and family in understanding mental illness.

I enjoyed reading the testimonies in the book. This book gives the believer in Christ the right balance to have faith to receive healing from God and to be open to counselling, psychotherapy and medication as these are ways God can use to heal or not. Take heart, do no fear for our lives are in God's sovereign hands.
