In this fascinating testimony, author Darrell Sroufe recounts growing up in a home wracked by mental illness; his teen years lost in sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll; and nearly going insane after a bad drug trip. Coming to Christ only a few hours before committing himself to a mental hospital, he soon found full deliverance. Then God opened doors for him to become a counselor, therapist and case manager in several psychiatric institutions. Witnessing the anti-Christian charlatanism of psychiatry while knowing the delivering power of The Great Physician first-hand, he recommended trust in Jesus Christ rather than psychiatrists to patients with mental problems. This quickly resulted in an ongoing conflict with the psychiatric industry. In off-hours evangelistic ministry he did the same, recognizing that insanity is not relegated only to those locked inside psychiatric wards, but runs amuck everywhere in sin-crazed society. Unmasking modern psychiatry, Loony Bin Blues reveals the practice to be a multi-billion dollar business more interested in money than remedying mental illness. Its spurious history, philosophies and ideologies are brought to light, exposing its occult origins and illegitimate pseudo-science challenges to Biblical authority in matters pertaining to the human soul. If you believe that mental illness is simply the result of diseases and chemical imbalances of the brain, or if you don't believe in spiritual realities, then you are in for a real surprise. Loony Bin Blues moves in and out of earthly, heavenly and hellish realms unveiling the truth about psychiatry, insanity and emissaries of light and darkness who battle for the souls of us all. You can't make this stuff up. - S.T. Caballero, Georgia Medical Care Foundation of Atlanta A Christian testimony willing to tell the warts-and-all truth. - April Riggins, Life Impact International

A RECIPE FOR RIOTS Riots in the inner city Are the Tory recipe. They call ‘security, stability and opportunity’, All the privilege of exclusivity. Better the point of view of Groucho Marx, Expressed in one of his fine remarks “I wouldn’t dream of joining a club that lets in people like me” He said in perfect parody... The Looney Bin Blues is a collection of poetry inspired by the author’s current country of residence, Mexico, as well as his hometown of Watford in England. The collection covers a broad range of subject areas and themes, from the forming of Mexico’s Constitution after its 1917 Revolution, to Cooke’s take on secularism, to a tribute to his former place of study, Thames Valley University, and a touching ode to his partner Maricruz and her two sons. It also takes a controversial attitude to prejudice and discrimination against mental illness, citing examples of great figures in history who were also mentally ill, such as the poet William Blake and the singer Amy Winehouse. The Looney Bin Blues will appeal to those looking for an irreverent yet thought-provoking volume of poetry, plus fans of Tristram’s previous books.
