My aim with this book is to try to find an understanding to the struggles Christians face with social stigmas. In particular, those "set aside" because of mental illness and the people's fear of it. If you have a love for Christ and understand His commands for compassion to the needy, then this book will be for you too.
When the nine disciples could not heal a young boy with epilepsy and a mental illness, Jesus' sorrow lead to compassion and healing:
And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and into the water." (Matt. 17:14,15)
As a sufferer myself of neurological and psychological illnesses, I have some credibility in stating facts from personal research and experiences with these obstructions in my life. Also, with the success from healing in the last several months. 
I have thrown in much bible-based knowledge, and that is with the help of my Bachelor's or Arts in Biblical Studies from Southern California Seminary. 
DESPITE THESE CREDENTIALS, THE CHURCH STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH LUNATICS LIKE ME!
