Summary People living with mental health challenges are not excluded from God's love or even the fullness of life promised by Jesus. Unfortunately, this hope is often obscured by the well-meaning labels and medical treatments that dominate the world of mental health today. In "Finding Jesus in the Storm," John Swinton makes the case for reclaiming that hope by changing the way we talk about mental health and remembering that, above all, people are people, regardless of how unconventionally they experience life.
