It will be a useful resource for those involved in Christian pastoral work, as well as those seeking to integrate their faith with their life experiences as someone living with, or alongside those with, mental illness." -- <em>Revd. Dr Alison J Gray, FRCPsych, Chair RCPsych Spirituality and Psychiatry SIG </em></p><p>"This timely collection of essays connects biblical studies to the sciences of mental healthcare, and theology to lived experience, with both creativity and care. Full of insight, intellectually robust, and consistently honest about the fragile spaces we inhabit, its authors explore from multiple angles how God can be present within frailty, not beyond it. There are rich resources here for church leaders, counsellors, and all concerned to give and receive support for mental wellbeing, not least in our present traumatic times." -- <em>John M.G. Barclay FBA</em>, <em>Lightfoot Professor of Divinity, Durham University</em></p><br>
