A Source of Hope
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
In this helpful book Grant Mullen presents a balanced Christian perspective on the healing of depression, anxiety, and emotional bondage in general. The author begins by characterizing the difficulty of Christians in dealing with these matters. He writes, "As I was growing up in the Church, emotional or mental disorders were always spoken of in hushed whispers...The unspoken message was that emotional illness was a sign of spiritual and personal weakness and that strong Christians really shouldn't suffer from these conditions". He goes on to describe how even when this underlying denial of the legitimacy of Christian emotional suffering is overcome, polarization in the Church as to the appropriate course of treatment often compromises the healing of such conditions. Mullen argues persuasively that brain chemistry, demonic oppression, and woundedness contribute in varying degrees to different cases of emotional bondage and must accordingly all be taken into account. He shares his own testimony of transformation from the strict medical perspective to this more holistic view. This personal dimension adds interest and credibility and cannot help but to inspire confidence in the reader. This book will be a source of hope for Christians suffering from emotional distress as well as for their families.

An Integrated and Balanced Therapeutic Approach
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Dr. Mullen's addition to the present array of books in the field of healing for the whole person is considerable. His background and experience in the field allows him to speak and write with authority. The specific appreciation that I have for Dr. Mullen's offering is the integration and balance that he brings to the work of healing. He genuinely believes and perceives value in a wide range of approaches because the diverse faculties of body, soul and spirit require it. He therefore contributes from his wealth of insights to the present literature with integrity and grace. His gift to his readers is that he takes nothing away from other approaches and invites us to practice with synergy.
