Thou Art Mad

Description

Possessed or Depressed?

Bitter or Bipolar?

Mental or Manic?

In the book of Acts, a young girl was trying to convince others of what she had seen, to which they replied, “Thou art mad.” The Jews claimed of Jesus Christ: “He hath a devil, and is mad.” Jesus Christ was labeled both a liar and a lunatic throughout his earthly ministry. From an innocent, little girl up to the Lord Jesus Christ himself, throughout all ages, people have been accused of being either insane, devil possessed, or both. It is time to address this issue from a balanced position and answer the question: What does God say about mental health?

Dr. Cowgill culminates both his clinical and biblical insight to present a fresh perspective on mental health, looking through both a scientific and a spiritual lens. He breaks down the complex subject, so it is comprehensible to any audience. He properly represents the subject by approaching it from multiple perspectives and challenges the boundaries of current understanding. This book will be not only a resource to minister to others in our day and age, but also as a self-help, to protect ourselves from the wiles of the devil.
