In Weeping and Rejoicing by Paige Stitt McBride is a book written to equip and encourage those of us who struggle to shape our emotional lives according to the Gospel. Through eight chapters, you will be guided into a thoroughly biblical understanding of emotions and then consider how a variety of specific emotions—joy, sadness, fear, peace, shame, anger, and love—can be clearly defined, dangerously distorted, and slowly developed in our everyday lives and struggles. If you have ever struggled to understand how the gospel relates to your mental health and emotions, this book is for you. 

Note to the Reader: This book provides challenging and honest truth for your mental health journey from a non-clinical perspective. God can use many modes of healing to bring about our wholeness in the area of mental health—whether through wise counsel, modern medicine, biblical truth, and more—and the words you are about to read provide a Scripture-centered framework as you pursue these various avenues. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, or are wrestling through complex feelings, we encourage you to seek out professional guidance to pair with the truth you glean from this book.
