Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
Compelled
Tim Blue, Ph.D. Β· 2012
70/100
π Worth It
Tim Blue writes with real courage and self-deprecating wit about three and a half decades of OCD, depression, and bipolar disorder inside a faith community that kept telling him the problem was spiritual rather than medical. The book fills a genuine gap for Christian readers who feel trapped between the pew and the psychiatrist's office. The self-published format limits polish and depth, but the honesty and the audience match are both real.
