Description
"This is a stunning book, so rare and so beautiful. I cannot recommend it highly enough."
—Matthew A. LaPine
This is the story of Christ's nearness to my suffering—my mental breakdown, my journey to the psych ward, my long, slow, painful recovery—and how Christ will use even our agony and despair to turn us into servants and guests of the mercy offered in his gospel. Suffering has been made holy by Christ's proximity to it.

Colette F, Reviewer
I appreciate Bryant’s efforts to explore and share this nuanced relationship between mental illness and an individual's faith. I think what really stood out for me was the most personal way this journey bares all in a painfully visceral descriptive sharing of mental suffering. Anyone that has ever lived with or loved someone with mental illness will literally feel themselves on the written pages. This is a dedicated work of a lifetime and is clearly rendered with an unsparing honesty that jumps off the page. It is my recommendation to trust the nudge if you are led to read this title. It's 5 stars worth in my book. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.
