Broken Minds, Guess Who Likes It?

All you need to do is to google, Steve Brown. Now that must be one of the most popular names in the English language. But Dr. Steven Brown of Key Life, professor at Reformed Theological Seminary (I think he is semi-retired) and one of the most popular speakers in the world will come up on the first page. He was kind enough to give a review of our book when it first came out. In case you have not seen his handsome face, he is the guy with the smile.

Wow! What a great book-- a book that we’ve needed for such a long time. With clarity, Biblical faithfulness and grace, Steve and Robyn Bloem lead us from their personal experience to hope for the rest of us who have experienced, or loved those who have experienced, the pain of a "broken mind." This is a book that should be mandatory reading for every leader in the church. It is one of the most (perhaps "the most") helpful books I’ve ever read on mental illness." (Then on a personal note) "I really do think this is a great book and will be making it mandatory reading for my practical theology classes."

Refreshing Candor
Bloem and Bloem write a telling personal and biblical narrative for those dealing with depression. This is a rare book from a conservative Christian perspective. Many authors from a secular perspective have shared about their own battle with depression (William Styron, Lewis Wolpert) or bi-polar disorder (Kay Redfield Jamison), but few evangelicals have done so. Fortunately the stigma of depression is fading as Christians of today realize what Christians of the past have known--there are many causes of depression (for a powerful look at "famous" Christians who struggled with emotional issues, see "Genius, Grief, and Grace").
For an honest, open, biblical, theologically-sound, and helpful conservative Christian approach to hope for healing, "Broken Minds" should be tops on your list. Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., author, professor, Capitol Bible Seminary, Washington D.C.
