- Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times best-selling author of “Forgiving What You Can’t Forget” and “Good Boundaries and Goodbyes”
Rebecca Maxwell is a warrior for the wounded, the broken and the suffering and I admire her like crazy for, among many things, standing on the front lines in the battle for her patients’ mental health. Born out of professional experience, educational training, Biblical study and much prayer, Rebecca’s written a beautiful and powerful book. “Jesus and Your Mental Health” is a guidebook that approaches mental health issues through a spiritual lens and offers a Biblically-informed understanding that will comfort you, let you know you’re not alone, and help bring you not only to a place of healing, but to the One who can and wants to heal you. Rebecca is not a fly-by-night with an untested opinion. She has and does stand in the trenches, daily, and because of this she knows and has seen that even mental illness falls under the umbrella of God’s sovereign hand and we can trust Him in it and through it.
- Charles Martin, New York Times Bestselling Author

Through clear and compassionate explanations, Jesus & Your Mental Health shows us how to honor God in our struggles, apply His Word to our hearts, and embrace the intersection of science and faith.

Finding peace about mental health
Mental health struggles have often been misunderstood in Christian communities, leaving many individuals feeling isolated, ashamed, or even discouraged from seeking help. This book seeks to bridge the gap between faith and psychology, offering a biblically grounded and scientifically informed approach to mental well-being.
Through personal stories, scriptural insights, and psychological expertise, Jesus & Your Mental Health explores the realities of depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and other common struggles. This book is a primer, or guidebook, for Christians as they engage these issues in light of the mental health movement that has swept the country. Jesus & Your Mental Health highlights the importance of holistic healing - integrating faith, therapy, community, and self-care. Readers will find encouragement, practical guidance, and reassurance that seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a step toward restoration.
Whether you or a loved one are facing mental health challenges, this book serves as a companion on the journey. God’s love and healing extend to every part of our being—heart, soul, mind, and strength—and the more we understand both scripture and mental health, the better we can care for ourselves and support those who are struggling.
