About this ebook
We've all felt the sting of mental pain. Some are distressed by their jobs or families; others have suffered from severe mental disorders for their whole lives. Whatever your story, you need to know the perfect peace that comes only by resting in the Lord God. In this booklet, Drs. Barhouse and Boice examine what the Bible says about the mental anguish that we face, and draw from God's Word pastoral comfort for the suffering.

Donald Grey Barnhouse (1895-1960), one of the twentieth century's outstanding American preachers, saw the need to spread God’s Word to a vast audience, and went on to start a radio broadcast that has become known as Dr. Barnhouse & the Bible.
Dr. Barnhouse is best known for his many colorful illustrations of living the Christian life. His books include Teaching the Word of Truth, Life by the Son, God’s Methods for Holy Living, and more. He was pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia from 1927 until his death in 1960.
