Christ on the Psych Ward

Blurb:
In Christ on the Psych Ward, David Finnegan-Hosey shares his personal story of living with mental illness as a person of faith. Through his time in psychiatric hospitals, therapy sessions, and deep spiritual questioning, he reflects on how the church often struggles to talk about mental health—and why that needs to change. Blending memoir, theology, and raw honesty, this book opens up a necessary conversation about where God shows up in our darkest moments.

Why We Love It:
Let’s be real — mental health and faith aren’t always on speaking terms, and too many people have been told to “pray it away” instead of getting real help. This book calls that out and makes space for the messy, complicated, beautiful reality of struggling with mental health and having faith. It’s vulnerable, brave, and quietly hopeful. If you’ve ever felt like you had to pick between your brain and your beliefs, this one’s for you.
