I did write Evangelicals and the Arts in Fiction before this one. I will pray for your family, Steve, and thanks for all you've done for those suffering from mental illness in the evangelical community.<br /><br />Best,<br />John<br /><br />P.S.

And I am thankful that you included Robyn and me in one of your latest books; The Failure of Evangelical Mental Health Care. Robyn and I are writing a book about the death of our daughter Lindsay and her child Emily Hope. Her car was hit head and killed by a drug addict, who was shooting up heroin. It was the night of September 11, 2001 Please see my wife's blog:<br />http://sbloemreflections.blogspot.com/2014/06/post-tramatic-stess-personal-look.html God's blessings, Steve<br />Rev.

I made sure to mention your book as an important early text on evangelicalism and mental illness in the The Failure of Evangelical Mental Health Care. I really did appreciate what you tried to do in it, even if I come from a slightly different viewpoint.<br /><br />Best,<br />John WeaverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884189586824237481.post-38788706377890564792014-11-17T20:00:13.517-08:002014-11-17T20:00:13.517-08:00Thanks, Pastor Jack,

So there are many errors in this.<br />I appreciate your encouragement and I am trying to apply the Scriptures to my life.

However, you are not Sisyphus (Albert Camus, 1942), and the Lord will not frustrate your efforts at educating His people, and correcting misperceptions. You are swimming upstream against the current like a strong salmon. You are not floating downstream belly up, going with the flow. The reception, or lack thereof, of your book and ministry should come as no surprise given your premises. A couple of reminders: "... he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." (Gal. 6:8b-10) "...continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of..." (2 Tim. 3:14)Pastor Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903772661237511780noreply@blogger.com
