A Thorn in My Mind Mental Illness Stigma and the Church

Cathy Wield is uniquely qualified to write on the subject of mental illness as both a doctor and a patient. She has experience of both instantaneous miraculous healing and gradual recovery from severe depression. This is her testimony to ongoing healing and maturity while learning to live with serious illness, and of a God who is with us regardless of our physical or mental state. This book takes the reader on a journey to learn more about mental illnesses and their treatments. It outlines ways we can help those we know who also have thorns in their minds. And we travel with Cathy on her journey into freedom and joy. Author of the widely acclaimed book Life after Darkness, Cathy has written this book as a contribution to the Church. It is a must read for those who have or have had a mental illness, those who know someone with a mental illness, and those who run churches or communities.
