A READING LIST FOR MENTAL HEALTH MINISTRY

This bibliography is organized by topic and within each topic by author in alphabetical order. It will be updated on a regular basis. Readers are encouraged to suggest the addition of new books or topics by contacting Faith in Recovery at (414) 329-9100 or writing to us at: Faith in Recovery, 4415 West Forest Home Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53219. This list is limited to books that deal directly with both mental illness, religion and spiritual aspects. We plan to develop a second list of resources that may be helpful and of interest to this ministry but do not deal directly with mental illness.
