Christian, Heal Thyself

Approximately 1 in 5 Christians will experience a diagnosable mental health condition this year. Most will never tell their church.

And the silence is not comforting.

Christopher Boer was sitting in the front row of his church the Sunday after his third panic attack in a week, Bible open, hands raised, completely falling apart, when he realized the cruelest irony of his faith journey: the one place that was supposed to be safest was the one place he felt most alone.

It was not until he stopped performing recovery and started pursuing actual healing that everything changed. This book is what he found on the other side.

Inside these pages you will discover:

• The Bible's best-kept secret about mental health; and why David, Elijah, and Jesus himself experienced what any honest clinician today would diagnose as crisis-level psychological distress
• Why "just pray more" is not a prescription; it is a way of ending a conversation that desperately needs to continue
• The specific reason your anxiety keeps returning despite years of prayer; and why the framework you have been handed is making it significantly worse
• What depression actually looks like inside the church; hint: it does not look like sadness
• Why your childhood did not stay in your childhood
• The truth about "renewing your mind" that nobody preaches; it is a neuroscience instruction two thousand years ahead of its time, and most Christians are applying it completely wrong
• Why choosing a therapist is not a failure of faith; and what the Bible actually says about seeking help from others that most sermons never get around to quoting
• The three thought loops keeping you spiritually stuck and emotionally exhausted; and a seven-minute daily practice that actually rewires them
• and much more.
