HAZEL, S.D., April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Christians suffering with mental health conditions can feel angry, guilty, sad, alone and hopeless. Many can feel like they have done something wrong and that they are not good Christians.

Author Heide R. Kuhlman shares her struggle with borderline and bipolar disorder while demonstrating to fellow Christians how God uses both the condition and those who suffer from the symptoms for "His glory." In her book, "Living for the Fruit of the Spirit," Kuhlman reveals how it is possible for those with mental health conditions to live by the characteristics and power of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, collectively referred to as "the Fruit of the Spirit."

"I went through a substantial struggle with my faith when I was unstable mentally and physically," said Kuhlman. "There were no resources similar to my book available at the time, so I was inspired to share my story for others going through what I did so they'd have a resource to lean on."

Kuhlman balances the book between her own story, suggestions for others going through a similar journey, and related Bible verses. She works to help those with mental health conditions find ways to appreciate God and to let him enable them to potentially achieve a higher level of function which could result in precious joy.

"If you have been diagnosed with a mental health condition, you must understand that you are not alone in your Christianity or in your suffering," said Kuhlman. "Just like all Christians you are able to receive God's love and His gifts as well as live a life that is reasonable, realistic and healthy."
