“It is common to blame God and not appreciate that he rewards us with spiritual challenges because He loves us and wants us to grow in our Christianity. God is always a good and faithful God and we can always trust He has our best interest at heart.” - Heide R. Kuhlman
WATERTOWN, S.D. (PRWEB) April 15, 2019
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Christian author and mental health counselor and Christian coach Heide R. Kuhlman has released her new book, “Living for the Fruit of the Spirit: Christianity for Those with Mental Health Conditions” which shares her personal story of struggling with mental health conditions as well as in her faith and relationship with God. Kuhlman’s book addresses the struggle that many Christians who suffer from mental health conditions have in relation to their faith who may be feeling angry, guilty, sad, alone and helpless and to reaffirm that they are not alone, and God is indeed there for them. The book also encourages those with mental health conditions as well as their loved ones, to understand, appreciate and respect the role and responsibility God has played in their lives.
“Living for the Fruit of the Spirit” presents an honest look at Kuhlman’s 15-year struggle with bipolar, borderline, ADHD and postpartum depression along with her relationship with God as well as her testimony and the many tools that helped her through some very challenging times in life. As those who suffer from mental health conditions often struggle with Christianity due to having a difficult time recognizing what role God has in their lives, Kuhlman demonstrates how God uses both the condition and those who suffer from the symptoms for his glory. She explains how it is possible for Christians to still live by the characteristics and power of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control – or by the Fruit of the Spirit.
“Everyone struggles with depression and anxiety from time to time. It is common to blame God and not appreciate that he rewards us with spiritual challenges because He loves us and wants us to grow in our Christianity,” said Kuhlman. “God is always a good and faithful God and we can always trust He has our best interest at heart.”
With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, Kuhlman’s book is a must read for Christians suffering from mental health conditions and for the people in their support system, as she demonstrates how they can still live by the fruit of the spirit as well as lead a reasonable, realistic and healthy life.
