Each day men and women diagnosed with mental disorders are told they need to pray more and turn from their sin. Mental illness is equated with demonic possession, weak faith, and generational sin. As both a church leader and a professor of psychology and behavioral sciences, Matthew S. Stanford has seen far too many mentally ill brothers and sisters damaged by well-meaning believers who respond to them out of fear or misinformation rather than grace. \u003cem\u003eGrace for the Afflicted\u003c\/em\u003e is written to educate Christians about mental illness from both biblical and scientific perspectives. Stanford presents insights into our physical and spiritual nature and discusses the appropriate role of psychology and psychiatry in the life of the believer. Describing common mental disorders, Stanford probes what science says and what the Bible says about each illness. Consistent with DSM-5 diagnoses, this revised and expanded edition is thoroughly updated with new material throughout, including eight new chapters that cover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ebipolar disorders\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003etrauma- and stressor-related disorders\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edementia\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecerebrovascular accidents (stroke)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003etraumatic brain injury\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esuicide\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ea holistic approach to recovery\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emental health and the church\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.2 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 07, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53045028553037,"sku":"9780830845071","price":40.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/RnJvVDdmQkw4SHJNNkhXWm9vSit6UT09.webp?v=1766372126","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/grace-for-the-afflicted-a-clinical-and-biblical-perspective-on-mental-illness-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
