Carlene Hill Byron: Not Quite Fine

Not Quite Fine

Herald Press, 2021

By Carlene Hill Byron

WHO: Carlene Hill Byron, former editor of New England Church Life and the New England Christian.

SHE SAYS: “Because we are called by God, we are able to live with meaning and purpose.”

THE BIG IDEA: Churches can promote healthier mental states for everyone, including those who struggle with mental health challenges.

THE PROGRESSION: In 10 chapters, the author offers practical guidance to equip people in the church to better support those who are suffering with mental health problems. 

“If God has given us a hope that allows us to continue through our sufferings, surely we can walk with others whose view of hope has been obscured.”

Gospel-Centered Parenting

The newness that comes as a result of new birth in Christ trickles down into every area of life, including our parenting.

Right Gear, Right Time

Keeping the gospel central is what keeps a church healthy and growing, not extravagant AVL productions.

It Takes Everyone

When every member shares the work, the whole body is better for it.
