A personal and open account by a senior church leader of living with mental health issues, and how he has found a way to deal with them.

'Has the power to plant seeds of hope in your heart that when the storms come, it's possible not to be afraid.' Rachel Gardner 'Disarmingly honest, powerfully disruptive and reassuringly scriptural. A rare and precious gift.' Krish Kandiah One in four of us will experience mental health problems but true resilience is ours for the taking. When shame, fear and despair threaten to fill us, it can be all too easy to resort to self-medicating through consuming, working, or other distractions. Rob Merchant has tried them all and discovered they don't deliver. Drawing on his own experience, Rob shows how healing starts when we acknowledge and accept our vulnerability. Knowing our place before God and surrendering wholly to Christ, we can discover forgiveness and always find hope.
