I would not have survived my struggle with mental illness without my faith and more specifically my relationship with Jesus. He has been the secret weapon I have relied upon to fight this battle and gain the victory. I would have followed my father and brother down their paths of suicide had it not been for my secret weapon. I've tried living with mental illness on my own and it was an ongoing struggle, however, I found peace and joy with the help of Jesus. My hope is that you will feel the same way when you come to the end of this book.

This book is dedicated to all of God’s children who have experienced challenges arising from mental illnesses. I have dealt with individuals afflicted with paranoid schizophrenia, and I have personally recovered from PTSD. Mental illness is a subject we find difficult to talk about due to fear of rejection and fear of loss of respect, as well as the shame associated with the stereotypes many people have inflicted on people suffering from various mental illnesses. There are many people in the church, as well as out of the church, suffering from mental illnesses and are coping with family members with various mental illnesses. The intent of this book is to shed light on the darkness mental illness is inflicting in our American society, as well as the world, and help our understanding and encourage many to believe God can and will deliver/heal many afflicted with various mental illnesses. Many people from all walks of life are talking more openly and hopefully more positive outcomes will be experienced for many.

Have you ever tried to fight worry with faith and felt you were losing the battle? Have comments like “God’s got this!” or “Just pray about it” only left you feeling more burdened? We know we shouldn’t worry, but the reality is that we all do at times. Whether it’s personal worries about loved ones and daily circumstances or broader concerns about what’s happening in the world, we long for something more than platitudes that will help us put real feet to our faith and win the worry battle. Many Christians do not have a full understanding of what it means to fight the good fight of faith. They try to live by faith but in the face of everyday trials and failures, they find themselves disillusioned and discouraged, wondering if they have done something wrong or if living by faith only works for others. The problem for most is simply a lack of understanding regarding what faith is and how it works. This book, inspired by the Book of Joshua, reviews three steps a person can take to Fight In Faith: 1) embrace God’s promises, 2) steep your heart in courage, and 3) act in obedience to God’s commands. Just as God gave His people victory over their enemies when they fought in faith, He promises to do the same for us. Following the footprints of bold, courageous faith that God gave His people, we’ll be equipped with tools to bravely fight in faith and overcome both our daily struggles and the bigger battles we all face. Through examples of how God gave the Israelites victory over their enemies and generously blessed them, too, we’ll be victorious in our fight of faith so that we not only radically transform our own lives but unequivocally impact society. A companion six-week Bible study Joshua: Winning the Worry Battle is also available for those who would like to dig deeper into the book's topic. Study components, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook with five days of lessons per week, Leader Guide, and DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions (with closed captioning).
