New Tool in the Fight Against Mental Illness

 Have you or a friend been diagnosed with a mental illness? How should you feel? What does this mean? Will anyone look at you the same again?

"Lord, I just found out I am a person with a mental illness." So begins the first of thirty-one poignant devotional thoughts compiled by Evelyn Geisler on coping with the diagnosis, treatment, and day-to-day challenges of living with mental disorders. Each daily reflection brings the reader an increased sense of comfort and peace that comes from meditation on God's word, prayer, and knowing that someone else empathizes. Also included are helpful sections on goal-setting, diet troubleshooting, and budgeting. An encouragement to those who suffer from mental illness and their loves ones, Touched by God may leave the reader wanting more-more devotions for next month and the month after that.
