Book Description
Why read a book when the book can read to you? This book just doesnt explain in dry, unpronounceable language what having bipolar disease is, it takes you through the various labyrinthine dimensions of it through stories and poems, and back out the other side to peace and even contentment with the challenges the author has faced in her life, fought and won, with the victory of life over an inevitable permanent institutionalization, like her biological grandfather, or a premature death from the devastating effects of this illness. The purpose of this book is to bring hope to all who suffer mental illness and feel like there is no way out.

Bipolar Faith
Author: Monica A. Coleman
Publisher: Broadleaf Books
ISBN: 1506487106
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
Overcome with mental anguish, Monica A. Coleman's great-grandfather had his two young sons pull the chair out from beneath him when he hanged himself. That noose remained tied to a rafter in the shed, where it hung above the heads of his eight children who played there for years to come. As it had for generations before her, a heaviness hung over Monica throughout her young life. As an adult, this rising star in the academy saw career successes often fueled by the modulated highs of undiagnosed Bipolar II Disorder, as she hid deep depression that even her doctors skimmed past in disbelief. Serendipitous encounters with Black intellectuals like Henry Louis Gates Jr., Angela Davis, and Renita Weems were countered by long nights of stark loneliness. Only as Coleman began to face her illness was she able to live honestly and faithfully in the world. And in the process, she discovered a new and liberating vision of God. Written in crackling prose, Monica's spiritual autobiography examines her long dance with trauma, depression, and the threat of death in light of the legacies of slavery, war, sharecropping, poverty, and alcoholism that masked her family history of mental illness for generations.

There are books that make you laugh. There are books that make you cry. There are books that teach you how to live day by day in a fallen world. The Best Life Ainât Easy is all of them!

My father, whom I loved dearly, suffered from an untreated mental illness and alcoholism, eventually leaving my mother, brother, and me when I was seven. He died when I was twelve.

Ain't Worth Your Life

Pages : 320
Book Description
Deep within the pulsating heart of modern-day San Francisco, John Adams finds himself ensnared in the suffocating grip of a relentless suicide cult. Despite his desperate pleas for guidance from every avenue—friends, therapists, even trusted colleagues—the tendrils of lunacy only tighten, threatening to plunge him over the precipice into darkness. With each passing moment, the sinister ideologies of the cult tighten their hold, propelling John towards an ominous climax where salvation seems but a distant dream, until an unlikely hero emerges from the shadows. Meanwhile, amidst the blood-soaked fields and tangled jungles of the Vietnam War, Chadwick Fuller fights not only the enemy lurking in the shadows but also the demons gnawing at his soul. Through the smoke and chaos of battle, his story unfurls—a raw narrative of camaraderie, chaos, and the brutal price of obedience. In the crucible of conflict, the true value of life is laid bare, etched into the faces of fallen comrades and the haunting echoes of war. With each turn of the page, the trajectories of these two lives hurtle towards an inevitable collision. Through shared hardships and improbable connections forged amidst adversity, a glimmer of hope flickers to life—a beacon of redemption amidst the darkness. Yet, as long-buried truths emerge and shadows of the past loom large, the destinies of mentor and mentee hang precariously in the balance. In a final, electrifying showdown, their resilience is tested to the brink as the specters of their past threaten to consume them whole. In this electrifying tale of suspense and revelation, the threads of fate entwine, weaving a narrative of sacrifice, redemption, and the indomitable resilience of the human spirit.
