• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi Everyone,
I am in the middle of reading an excellent book on the topic of mental health and Christianity. It is written by a Christian psychiatrist.

It's called, "Why Do Christians Shoot Their Wounded?"

http://www.amazon.com/Why-Christians...6496937&sr=8-1

I hope you don't mind me posting this. I have never been this excited about a book on this topic before.

Trish

People keep telling me to read the first 163 pages of the Blue Book.

If you mean the Big Book, that is the original basic text of Alcoholics Anonymous. It is excellent for helping learn how the originators of AA got sober.

My reason for recommending this book is that it helps many in the Church who receive criticism for their mental health issues understand a different perspective.
