While modern psychiatry has improved many patients’ quality of life, it falls short in addressing their relational and spiritual needs.\n\nAs a theologian and practicing psychiatrist, Warren Kinghorn shares a Christian vision of accompanying those facing mental health challenges. Kinghorn reviews the successes and limitations of modern mental health care before offering an alternative paradigm of healing. Based in the theology of Thomas Aquinas, this model of personhood affirms four truths: We are known and loved by God. We are creatures made of earth who are formed in community. We are wayfarers on a journey. We are called not to control, but to wonder, love, praise, and rest.\n\nDrawing on theological wisdom and scientific evidence, Kinghorn reframes our understanding of mental health care from fixing machines to attending fellow wayfarers on the way to the Lord’s feast. With gentle guidance and practical suggestions, Wayfaring is an essential resource for pastors and practitioners as well as for Christians who seek mental health care.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0802882242\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0802882242.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kinghorn, Warren|Swinton, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43293320806461,"sku":"BVV.0802882242.VG","price":24.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0802882242-0.jpg?v=1782335891","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/wayfaring-a-christian-approach-to-mental-health-care","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
