DOWNLOAD EBOOKOvercome 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA man chosen by God to help others shares how to help a spouse through depression in Through the Lens of a Spouse. Helping a spouse with depression is a humbling, sometimes lonely path. Although many churches offer love and support to those dealing with mental illness, others unwittingly blame the victim, causing the suffering church members to sit in silence. When David M. McCormick's soon to be wife Rita revealed she had been diagnosed with clinical depression in her early twenties, he would one day be forced to confront his own dark journey. A long, nonlinear road with peaks and valleys, McCormick waged a spiritual battle with strength, courage, and unconditional love. In this humorous and heart-wrenching memoir, McCormick reveals the struggles he and his wife endure, how God offers support through the journey of depression, and how to overcome depression through God's word. With Jesus's unconditional love and God's grace, McCormick and his wife continue to find the strength to persevere.
