Mental illness loves to tell lies. One of those lies is that you really should be able to manage what you're struggling with. Pastor and psychotherapist Ryan Casey Waller says no.

And yet, as Waller has experienced personally, the battle can be lonely and discouraging. But it doesn't have to be.

In Inspired Imperfection, Gregory A. Boyd adds another counterintuitive and provocative thesis to his corpus.
