Mental Health Awareness And The Church captures the essence and relevance of optimum mental health in the church community.
It highlights the peculiar challenges faced by ministers and church workers in their efforts to support people with mental health problems within the wider church community, and the reasons why this subject be addressed head-on and holistically by the church.
The book is a product of the experience of the author across these two highly interwoven domains of human existence, the soul and the spirit. It is dedicated to the ministers and church workers who engage in this interface, and the individuals whose experience of mental health problems has provided a rich source of information and knowledge for the book.

Mental health is an important issue that is often misunderstood or attended to from an angle of limitation in the church. This book is timely and I highly recommend it to any and everyone, especially in the body of christ. The information contained in this book is rich and is …
It’s great that we finally have a book addressing the taboo of Mental Health within the Church. Mental Health is something that is not explained or discussed enough in the modern-day Church. Every Church should have a copy of this book and give a copy to all its Church leaders …
Thanks for such a book that addresses areas many shy away from, especially those who are in Christian ministry. I recommend this to every church worker, minister and pastors who are leading churches and responsible for the spiritual welfare of many.
This is a comprehensive and exhaustive resource for the Minister of the gospel and all Christian workers, who by virtue of their divine assignments are often the first contact persons with and frontline help/care providers to individuals having mental health difficulties; and by extension all believers that are interested in the all-encompassing life issues of the mind, which the Scriptures say we should guard with all diligence.
It should also be particularly recommended as a resource material for ministers undergoing hospital chaplaincy training and would be a useful handbook for all mental health professionals who are interested in exploring spirituality dimensions in their practice. Social workers in particular would find the book a useful guide in their work.
This is no doubt a product of in-depth knowledge and skills derived from your extended practice as a mental health professional and your vast spiritual insight as a minister of the gospel.
Thank you so much for allowing God to use you in putting this book together. It is perhaps the most comprehensive book on Mental Health from the Church’s pastoral ministry perspective that I have so far read. It covers the key areas that often pose challenges for Church ministers, Church members, Mental Health professionals, etc. in providing appropriate support for people with mental health problems in our Churches, as well as other faith communities.
The writing style is quite easy and interesting to follow.
I simply want to commend the hard work put into this book and pray that it will be a blessing to everyone who reads it.
The book relates to the different age categories of people in a church community.
It provides a readable, quick and easy-to-grasp snapshot of mental health issues from childhood to old age for ministers and church workers. With chapters on mental health from childhood to the end of life and the mental health of the bereaved.
It is a synopsis of mental health from cradle to the grave and a helpful resource for the church.
