CHAPTER INDEX
The miracle of faith
Now, I’ve given you the lowdown on just about every important part of being bipolar: the hard stuff to handle, the easy stuff, the positives and the negatives. Now I’m going to give you a little tip that has truly helped me – believing in God. Those of you that are agnostic or atheist may balk at this sort of thing, but let me fill you in on something. When you are at your worst, when you are in bed fighting off a bad episode, you are going to need a light at the end of the tunnel. Without that light, without that love, the world could easily crater in on top of you. Believing in God has saved lots of people from ending their life prematurely, and it can do the same for you. If you’re skeptical about this, then I suggest you try it and if it doesn’t work for you then give it up. But trying it should be first on your list. I should know – without my belief in God you wouldn’t be reading this.

Amen! As a parent of a bipolar child, i would not be able endure the rollercoaster ride that I get on everyday and my son wouldn't understand the power of prayer. After ever rage, the first thing he wants to do is pray!
AMEN - I am bipolar and without my Faith in Jesus Christ, I would have committed suicide quite a few times. Excellent book.
