Insanity
Author: Robert G. Priest
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136894691
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
First Published in 1978. The authors’ aim has been to write about the so-called ‘major’ mental illnesses, the conditions we know as ‘the psychoses’. Now, all psychiatric disorders are potentially serious, although in fact the great majority never reach a profound degree of pathology. The psychotic illnesses, by definition, are those which present with many of the most dramatic symptoms seen in psychiatry. Included in their manifestations may be seriously disturbed behaviour, loss of contact with reality, severe delusions and hallucinations, loss of memory and of other intellectual functions, and many others. In other words, they are the illnesses which to most people represent the concepts of ‘Madness’ or ‘Insanity’. Despite the undoubted advances in our thinking about these disorders, we still tend to cross our fingers and hope that they will not happen to us. The fear— and the stigma— of mental illness is not yet dead.

The Insanity of Obedience
Author: Nik Ripken
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 143368229X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Wise Sheep Among the Wolves All Christian disciples have one thing in common: as they carry the gospel across the ocean and across the street, persecution will become the norm for those who choose to follow Jesus. How believers respond in the face of persecution reveals everything about their level of faith and obedience. The Insanity of Obedience is a bold challenge to global discipleship. Nik Ripken exposes the danger of safe Christianity and calls readers to something greater. The Insanity of Obedience challenges Christians in the same, provocative way that Jesus did. This book dares you—and prepares you—to cross the street and the oceans with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Some of Jesus’ instructions sound uncomfortable and are potentially dangerous. We may be initially encouraged by His declaration, “I am sending you out.” But how are we to respond when He then tells us that He is sending us out “like sheep among wolves"? In light of the words of Jesus, how can modern day believers rest comfortably in the status quo? How can we embrace casual faith in light of the radical commands of Jesus which are anything but casual? Ripken brings decades of ministry experience in some of the most persecuted areas of the world to bear on our understanding of faith in Jesus. The Insanity of Obedience is a call to roll up your sleeves . . . and to follow and partner with Jesus in the toughest places on this planet. "We have the high privilege of answering Jesus’ call to go," Ripken says. "But let us be clear about this: we go on His terms, not ours. If we go at all, we go as sheep among wolves." Jesus gives us Himself. And He gives us the tools necessary for those who dare to journey with Him.

Book Description
“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!” fourteen-year-old Jane cried, believing she was being bitten by spiders as she fled her bedroom to seek the comfort of the sofa in the downstairs living room. In succeeding nights, this behavior was repeated, only now, she was also shouting, “Bats in the belfry! Bats in the belfry!” imagining there were people occupying the unfinished area of the upstairs that was accessed through her bedroom. These episodes revealed for the first time she was having full-blown mental health issues. This was not news to her younger sisters, Elaine and Julie, who recognized from very young ages Jane’s inappropriate and antisocial behavior. As adults, the two younger sisters, for the most part, managed to escape from dealing with the tribulations presented by their older sister until their mother’s heart attack when they were thrown into Jane’s hell head on.
