Everyone's response or lack of response to the big and deeper questions influences the trajectory of their daily lives, i.e., how they think, feel, and act. It affects the way they treat others and even how they treat themselves. It determines their goals and ambitions or lack thereof. How they deal with stress and life's challenges is directly an outcome of their view of the big picture, whether they are resilient or crumble under pressure. What is the importance of God in all this, and how does it influence cognitive, emotional, and behavioral outcomes? In this book the author gives a glimpse of her view of the big picture and what she believes may be helpful for the reader's mental health.

Reviews for Concerning the Importance of God for Mental Health: Religious Faith and Its Relationship to Long-Term Cognitive, Emotional, and Behavioral Outcomes

""Drawing on her own experience, and a series of interviews with medical missionaries, Marcia Murphy has some important, and sometimes controversial, things to say about why belief in God matters when it comes to mental health. Written from a Christian perspective, this book gives insights into why psychiatrists need to take religion more seriously. Whether or not you agree with her, Murphy raises some vital questions about finding meaning and purpose in the context of illness and medical vocation."" --Christopher C. H. Cook, Emeritus Professor in Spirituality, Theology and Health, Durham University
