This book is derived from the real and lived experience of people who deal with mental illnesses of all types and severity on a daily basis. People who have learned to navigate a system that does not easily or readily provide the treatment and care needed – and which all too often harms those it is to help. It is based on what we know is important and is needed. Most importantly Finding Hope shares what we know – there is hope – no matter how hard or painful this experience, no matter how long it takes to be realized. There is hope here.
The Woman in the Mirror | by Polly Frank
Deceptively simple, these little pieces taken from everyday life touch on all the big subjects. Polly has found the magic formula for drawing the reader into her world – as informally as if we were sharing a cup of tea. Gently and subtly, she leads us to review our own experiences – whether similar to hers or completely different.
Decline and Dysfunction in the American Church, by Reverend Polk Culpepper
Decline and Dysfunction in the American Church proposes an interdisciplinary explanation, one that converges at the intersection of Christianity and psychology. Based on his research of over 25 years of parish and diocesan ministry, Culpepper contends that the American church has, for many, become irrelevant to their lives due to the toxic influences of co-dependent patterns of behavior. The same co-dependent behaviors that devastate the efforts of human families to love and support one another effect church congregational and denominational “families” in similar ways.
