All Who Are Weary: Easing the Burden on the Walk with Mental Illness by Emmy Kegler

5.0
As a pastor and patient, Kegler does a fantastic job of giving a voice to those who struggle with mental health issues, while urging the church community to be compassionate and take up the onus of accompanying those experiencing these issues. It is refreshing to see someone talk about mental health with authenticity and vulnerability, leaning on biblical values and lessons as a framework for care while criticizing how the Christian culture of using platitudes such as "just put your faith in God" or "just pray to God for healing" is simply not enough. I find comfort and resonance in Kegler's words.
