I am reviewing a copy of When Faith Meets Therapy through Thomas-Nelson and Netgalley:
Believers are not immune to life’s difficulties, nor are we immune to mental health challenges, yet often we resist talking to a Mental Health professional when we most need them. People of faith who are battling issues such as anxiety, depression, life changes, stress, or relationship problems may suffer in silence, believing things will get better if only their faith was stronger, they prayed more, or they had more self-discipline. The stigma about needing to seek help is all too real.
When Faith Meets Therapy reminds the reader that seeking help for your mental health care does not make you weak, nor does it make someone less faithful, we all need help from time to time, the good Lord understands that. Seeking help is in fact a sign that professional help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign that someone is serious about moving forward emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. Written by producer, artist, and author Anthony Evans, along with licensed psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser, When Faith Meets Therapy dispels the cultural myths and stigmas that surround professional therapy; shares stories from the authors’ personal experiences and from others who are facing life’s challenges; and provides practical steps that readers can take in the pursuit of emotional, relational, and spiritual progress.
I give When Faith Meets Therapy Five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
