The Life Boat

Have you ever thought perhaps you or someone you know is mentally ill? Has depression, anxiety, or even some more serious symptoms affected your ability to function? Have you contemplated taking your own life? Is there help and hope for you? Join author Mike Addison in The Life Boat: One man's journey with mental illness and rejoice in the hope of finding some normalcy in an otherwise chaotic existence. This firsthand view of life lived with mental illness will focus on: • the depth of despair, • the hopelessness, • the contemplation of self-harm, • and the self-imposed isolation. With a fierce determination to live his life with dignity, Addison has sought to fight rather than cower in defeat. Whether you have been diagnosed with mental illness or suspect you might be mentally ill, this book will take you from where you are to the arms of God for refuge and strength. You too can have the victory and peace found by the author in his fifty year journey with mental illness. The Life Boat takes you through a pursuit of contentment that came for Addison as he abandoned his own dreams and tapped into God's dream for his life.
