Plot

Whether for depression, suffering, suspected demon possession, crisis pregnancy, terminal illness, bereavement, or mental illness, the Bible gives meaning, strength, and truth. Dr. Steven Waterhouse addresses these crucial life issues: suffering; sixteen possible reasons why God allows suffering...depression; while some depression is medical in origin far more often it begins with emotions, relationships, even false world views...mental illness vs demon possession; humanists often deny the possibility of demon possession, Christians often treat it as a myth; the author offers means of differentiating a psychiatric breakdown from demonic influence...the Sanctity of Life; abortion is demonstrated to be wrong whether viewed theologically, medically, philosophically, or scientifically...also suicide, terminal illness, advice for crisis counseling, biblical passages for "death-watches", bereavement counseling.
