Paul Ritchie is the husband of Caroline and father of Anya, Ronan & Sian. He serves as pastor to Limerick Baptist Church. His ministry has been deepened by his own experience of O.C.D. and struggles with anxiety. He is a devoted Munster Rugby fan and loves a game of pitch & putt.
Paul Ritchie writes with a pastor’s heart for Christians struggling
with depression and anxiety – and for friends and relatives who
walk alongside them. The pages are full of stories and a practical
wisdom, rooted in the Bible, that speak into the emotional turmoil
and troubling questions that many believers wrestle with (too often
on their own).
*Patrick Mitchel*
There are books addressing depression from a clinical, personal or
spiritual perspective. What sets this one apart is the fact that it
addresses the issue from all three perspectives. You will be
challenged by Paul’s honesty, his empathy for others and his
ceaseless focus on the Gospel. In fact, you will never think about
the issue the same way again.
*David Blevin*
Written with grace, wisdom, and from personal experience, the book
will carefully and gently help readers navigate some difficult
pastoral issues relating to mental health.
*Peter Orr*
What a superb book. I so benefited from reading it.
*John Samuel*
This book is good! It feels very real – its credibility stems
especially from the fact that its author has experienced being in
this place himself. And it’s well written! A resource pastors can
do well to have accessible on their shelves for when it’s
needed!
*Pete Lowman*
… deals with many of the misconceptions and misunderstandings that
exist around these issues. The prayers at the end of each chapter
that are based on the Psalms are so helpful. The overriding message
of this book is that you can know God, the true God, as he has
revealed himself in the Scriptures in whatever you are facing in
life, and know his love and care.
*Joan Singleton*
Honest, human and heart–felt, every page is borne of Paul’s own
walk through the darkness. This is not a handbook of plastic
solutions, but a companion to walking through the mess more closely
with Jesus and in light of his grace. Immensely helpful and moving;
essential reading for every believer.
*Mark Ellis*
