Overview
In this frank, instructive, and heartening personal story, Lillian Grissen tells about the severe depression that she herself experienced. Her pain — mental, emotional, and physical pain — was excruciating, and at first she felt hopelessly trapped in it. But with the help of a gifted Christian psychiatrist, Grissen began to stop blaming herself and to confront the core of her problem — her relationship as a child with her mother. Over a period of five long years — also with her husband's support, her pastor's compassionate counsel, the right combination of therapy and medication, and God's gracious strength — Grissen gradually climbed out of the pit of her depression.
One noteworthy feature of this courageous narrative is that is describes honestly (but without bitterness) a very flawed mother- daughter relationship in a Christian family, showing how bad seeds that parents plant in their children can have devastating results years later. Grissen's story also clearly demonstrates that psychiatry and spiritual counseling are not incompatible but are both needed for the healing of Christians suffering from depression. Her Path through the Sea will engage and encourage many who suffer from depression as well as those who care about them.
