This Beautiful Truth: How God's Goodness Breaks Into Our Darkness by Sarah Clarkson
1.0
DNF. Thank you Netgalley for this ARC.
As a mental health provider I was curious to read this as I always like to have resources to point clients toward.
I could not get into this book for several reasons. The author’s overuse of the term “mental illness” which is not person-first and is derived from the medical model, and is not strengths-based. There are many alternatives to this term such as mental health experiences, person experiencing OCD.
On page 20, I found her use of the word “cripple” to not be a great choice of words as well.
