Book Overview
This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. In this frank, instructive, and heartening personal story, Lillian Grissen tells about the severe depression that she herself experienced. Her pain -- mental, emotional, and physical pain -- was excruciating, and at first she felt hopelessly trapped in it. But with the help of a gifted Christian psychiatrist, Grissen began to stop blaming herself and to confront the core of her problem -- her relationship as a child with her mother. Over a period of five long years -- also with her husband's support, her pastor's compassionate counsel, the right combination of therapy and medication, and God's gracious strength -- Grissen gradually climbed out of the pit of her depression. One noteworthy feature of this courageous narrative is that is describes honestly (but without bitterness) a very flawed mother- daughter relationship in a Christian family, showing how bad seeds that parents plant in their children can have devastating results years later. Grissen's story also clearly demonstrates that psychiatry and spiritual counseling are not incompatible but are both needed for the healing of Christians suffering from depression. Her Path through the Sea will engage and encourage many who suffer from depression as well as those who care about them.

Good text for Christians suffering w/ depression
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is an excellent text which tells the personal story of a Christian woman who experienced severe depression while serving with her family on the mission field in Africa. It is an excellent, quick read, which captures the inner experience and process of a woman who is seriously struggling with her depression and her faith in God. I find that clients find it encouraging to read, helping them feel like "I am not the only one who has had questions like this and felt this way."
absolutely amazing

This book is inspiring and when I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. I could swear that the author knew me, and was writing about me. It was intense, informative, and explanatory. Where can I contact the author?
