Whether for depression, suffering, suspected demon possession, crisis pregnancy, terminal illness, bereavement, or mental illness, the Bible gives meaning, strength, and truth. Dr. Steven Waterhouse addresses these crucial life issues: suffering; sixteen possible reasons why God allows suffering...depression; while some depression is medical in origin far more often it begins with emotions, relationships, even false world views...mental illness vs demon possession; humanists often deny the possibility of demon possession, Christians often treat it as a myth; the author offers means of differentiating a psychiatric breakdown from demonic influence...the Sanctity of Life; abortion is demonstrated to be wrong whether viewed theologically, medically, philosophically, or scientifically...also suicide, terminal illness, advice for crisis counseling, biblical passages for "death-watches", bereavement counseling.
