  OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder . . . these are not just diagnoses from the DSM; they are part of our everyday vocabulary and understanding of people. As Christians, how should we think about psychiatric diagnoses and their associated treatments?We can't afford to isolate ourselves and simply dismiss these categories as unbiblical. Nor can we afford to accept the entire secular psychiatric diagnostic and treatment enterprise at face value as though Christian Scripture is irrelevant for these complex mental struggles. Instead, we need a balanced, biblically (and scientifically!) informed approach that is neither too warmly embracing nor too coldly dismissive of psychiatric labels and the psychiatric medications that are often prescribed.Biblical counselor and retired physician, Michael R. Emlet, gives readers a helpful way forward on these important issues as he guides lay and professional helpers in the Christian church through the thicket of mental health diagnoses and treatments in a clear, thoughtful primer in which the Bible informs our understanding of psychiatric diagnoses and the medications that are often recommended based on those labels.This first book in the Helping the Helper series will give readers biblical, gospel-formed categories that will help them understand and minister to those who are struggling with mental health issues.

  "What if faith and evidence are not enemies— but echoes of the same truth?" 
  For centuries, science and faith have been portrayed as rivals. Tim Howard argues they never were. 
  In From Faith to Fact, Howard weaves quantum physics, near-death experience testimony, and biblical Scripture into a single breathtaking convergence — revealing what may be the most urgent discovery of our time: that the universe science is uncovering looks remarkably like the one the Bible described all along. 
  Consciousness survives death. Light is the architecture of reality. And God may be closer to the findings of modern physics than either scientists or theologians have dared to admit. 
  A book for skeptics who demand evidence, seekers who sense there is more, and believers who want their faith grounded in fact.
