Daily Meds Should Be Taken Daily "A Journey through Prejudice"

This powerful book calls lay people and Christians alike to a new depth of understanding. The author, a woman with schizophrenia, reveals what it's like from the inside out to struggle for faith in a world that frequently adds to the torment of individuals suffering with a mental illness. She chronicles her experiences in concise and true language with an honesty that may seem brutal to some, but relieving to others. Through her experiences, and the experiences of her children, we witness a struggle to overcome anguish and a successful effort to experience God. It is through this grace that she shares her vision to help others with this book.
Although she addresses Christians with a call to finding and sharing the love of Christ with the downtrodden, her words will ring true with lay people who have family, friends, or acquaintances with a mental illness. Her straight-forward style opens a window into a world rarely seenand often fearedby those who encounter the mentally ill. In sharing the author's perspective, we learn to understand how damaging casual comments, or openly derisive actions, can be to anyone, but more so to those afflicted and struggling for normalcy. She issues a plea to raise our children to be devoid of fear, aversion, and the cruelty too often leveled at people seen as ill or different. Daily Meds offers understanding and the overarching hope that we may all learn to love one another through faith, understanding, and a willingness to care.
