Loving a Beautiful Mind is the story of a brilliant man who while preparing for a promising career in academia was diagnosed with schizophrenia. The book tells the heart-wrenching story of the effect of mental illness on a marriage and family. This onset of schizophrenia predates the advent of support groups that now give education and assistance to families dealing with mental illness.
The participants in this story relied only on a powerful God to answer their prayers and meet their needs. Seen through the wife’s intimate viewpoint, the book follows her courageous journey through devastation, hope and finally resignation to her husband’s altered future.
Be inspired by the faithfulness of a personal God Who works wonders in the life of both partners. For the author, the reward that came from loving this beautiful mind was an illumined understanding of mental illness and a revitalized faith in a living God.
I’ve never read a book (that’s not an academic one) about schizophrenia. I will definitely be checking this out.
It’s truly an inspirational piece! I highly recommend you do check it out.
