Borderlines, the Bible, and the Body of Christ

Frantic efforts to avoid unpleasant feelings. Perceived abandonment. Profound depression or extreme rage. These symptoms control sufferers of borderline personality disorder, as their intense feelings rule their hearts and choices, fill their relationships with disunity and strife, and seem more real to them than Godâ€™s Word or his Spirit.

But Cathy Wiseman shows us, in this detailed, thorough, and helpful study, that Godâ€™s Word holds the solution and his Spirit alone can heal the havoc of borderline personality disorder. She maintains that the loving assistance of a team of believers is also crucial, and she provides a wealth of information for biblical helpers, including an analysis of the disorder and its symptoms, exercises to use in counseling, and a list of references and resources.

THE GOSPEL FOR REAL LIFE booklet series by the Association of Biblical Counselors (ABC) applies the timeless hope of Christ to the unique struggles of modern believers.

â€œThe gospel isnâ€™t just an ethereal idea. Itâ€™s not a philosophy and itâ€™s not static. It moves and shapes and transforms. I am grateful for ABCâ€™s work of letting the gospel bear its weight on these real life sorrows and pains.â€
â€”Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village Church, Flower Mound, Texas
