Showing results for "Psych." in Christian Living

In the blink of an eye, life can take an unexpected turn. One moment you're a loving mother of four, cherishing the simple joys of the playground, and the next, you find yourself confined to a 12x12 room in a psychiatric hospital. How does one bridge the gap between the mundane and the unimaginable? How does a perfectly healthy pregnancy spiral into a journey through the depths of the human psyche? In "From Playgrounds to Psych Wards," Amanda Taylor takes you on an extraordinary odyssey through the corridors of her mind, from health through a sudden descent into the abyss of psychosis.

When Pastor Steve Austin left home that Sunday night, he knew his wife and little boy would never see him alive again. Steve had survived childhood sexual abuse as a preschooler, but the effects rippled through his life for the next 25 years. After nearly 10 years as a youth pastor and worship leader, Steve was convinced that his only choice was suicide. But childhood sexual abuse, addiction, and a suicide attempt were only the beginning of Steve Austin's story. This book is for anyone who has hit rock bottom and is left wondering what to do next.
