Christ in the Abyss - by Neely Phd Jean L (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

For those navigating the stormy waters of depression, despair, or mental illness, Christ in the Abyss offers a rare kind of spiritual companionship. In this raw and redemptive book, Jean Neely shares her decades-long journey with mental health challenges and faith, testifying that Christ's presence isn't reserved for the healed--but is found in the very heart of our pain. With poetic clarity and unflinching honesty, Neely challenges triumphalist Christian narratives and stigma in the church and offers a vision of grace and hope that holds, even when nothing is resolved. In these pages, you'll find:

• An alternative to "healing-only" faith narratives that makes room for those whose emotional suffering remains unresolved, affirming that deep faith is possible even in prolonged struggle.
• A weaving together of story, Scripture, and cultural critique that expands our imagination for what faith can look like.
• Reflection questions for readers craving depth over resolution.
