Publisher's summary

In the aftermath of the pandemic, even those who have never struggled with mental health have found themselves reeling, looking for answers they don't know how to find. For Christians, especially those who've despaired of help from a church that has too often stigmatized poor mental health as a lack of faith, the way forward can be particularly difficult to see.

Jonathon Seidl aims to fix that. Having fought his own way through crippling anxiety, life-altering OCD, and suicidal thoughts, he knows the value of concrete advice grounded in strong biblical truth. Instead of the trite or unsympathetic counsel that's too often given, Finding Rest is practical, personal, and productive. Full of compelling stories, humor from a guide who's still on his journey, and scriptural truths, this book offers real hope and help. It also provides a lifeline for friends and family who long for ways to help relieve the suffering of their loved ones. And it calls to account the church for its historical treatment of mental health and lays out thoughtful, needed paths for the body of Christ to become a refuge of hope for the anxious.

Great book on depresssion

He does a great job explaining what depression is like and the things one can do to help their depression. It helps those of us with family members with depression and anxiety know what to do. Loved it and shared it with lots of friends.

I finally feel like I am not the only one.

This book is fantastic. While reading it I was able to relate with and know I am not alone in many of the topics he discusses in the book. The book is great, but the audiobook and brings a whole extra level of passion, emotion, and empathy in Joh’s voice as he reads it. You are able to get an understanding that he knows and has felt the same struggles and pain that many of us have over the years. I highly recommend this book for those who struggle with Anxiety and OCD as well as those who know someone who battles it daily… so yeah, everyone. This book helps guide others in a better understanding of what anxiety looks like and how to help whose who have it, in a caring ways.

Thank you!

Refreshingly frank, yet easy to listen to and funny, truthful and spiritually encouraging as well. I was on a 3 day sabbatical (doctor & husband encouraged); and this audio book, along with my Bible and time alone with the Lord was exactly what I needed.
