Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the descriptions of folks with Bipolar Disorder seem to be sinful or against God's will. Christians need to embrace a type of control over sin, while going through Mania or Depression. Help is given in "Christian with Bipolar Disorder." How to stay the course with Jesus is important. There is beauty and despair in every Christian's life. Perhaps, this is our thorn to live with. Grace is sufficient for us. God accepts us as we are. So too, we must live with ourselves. Counselors, both of the worldly sort and of the Christian persuasion, are heard saying "You're Not Bipolar. You Have Bipolar Disorder." In other words, Bipolar Disorder does not define us as individuals. As for you and me, Jesus defines us. Our character. Our future. Our all. We yield to the Master.

Download or read book This Side of Darkness written by Lynn Vanderdasson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-08-29 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, This Side of Darkness, illuminates and exposes the horrific stigma associated with depression and anxiety. Many Christians look down upon the depressed and anxious Christian because they wrongly believe that it is caused from a lack of faith. After all, real Christians don’t get down in a constant mood of profound sadness for an extended length of time! Real Christians aren’t anxious about anything to the point of sickness. Real Christians don’t get ulcers from stress, real Christians don’t ..........real Christians don’t.......... This book reveals what Depression really is and what it is not. It is important for the one suffering with such depth of hopelessness and despair to realize that this “thing” called depression is NOT a spiritual matter but a bio/chemical disease. The depressant (that is what I call us) that is told to “snap out of it” and “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” cannot cure themselves any more than a cancer patient or diabetic can cure themselves without professional help! So, with this erroneous ideation that this is a spiritual problem, they, not only have the depression and anxiety to deal with but are pushed deeper into the dark pit with the shame and guilt of thinking that it is a lack of faith and spiritual maturity. Have you ever heard that depression and anxiety for a Christian is a lack of faith? Please note that it is not a spiritual weakness but a bio/chemical disorder causing the brain to malfunction.

You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
