A Broken Mind Redeemed: How Faith, Commitment, And Love Restored A Mind Overcome By Mental Illness

Are you frustrated and careworn striving to make sense of a family member's battles with addiction, bipolar disorder, or other mental challenges? A Broken Mind Redeemed reveals a wife's heart-wrenching struggle to keep her marriage together as her husband's mental illness and alcoholism threatened to tear their relationship apart. Sandra Dowling Housley chronicles her compelling thirteen-year journey to trust God to save her marriage and to heal her husband, Mark. Loving someone struggling with emotional instability triggers feelings of desperation, anger, dysfunction and loss. Sandra holds nothing back about the overwhelming dilemmas she endured: marital battles, a threat of prison, financial ruin, betrayal, serious illness, psychotic behavior, and even death. She shares excerpts from her personal journals and passages from Scripture that guided her during times of crisis. God's loving, life-giving responses to her desperate prayers offer hope to others suffering from the confusion and anxiety of dealing with the unpredictable complexities sabotaging an intimate relationship. Both alarming and inspiring, Sandra's spiritual odyssey will ultimately bring the reader a smile of joy at what a faithful God can do in answer to earnest prayer and a commitment to follow Him. Readers are encouraged to contact Sandra to share their stories and how the chaos has affected them and those they love. Facebook: ABrokenMind Blog: Grace4Glory.blogspot.com
