If you or someone close to you is a Christian afflicted with
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Waging War against OCD: A Christian
Approach to Victory provides a lifeline. Authored by an OCD sufferer who
uses Scripture as a sword in the battle against the disorder, this book
provides comfort and hope for those mired in the confusion and hopelessness
of OCD. The author demonstrates how the methods for fighting this disorder
all originate in Scripture, the ultimate source of all wisdom and power.
Sufferers can use these truths as an anchor during their darkest and weakest
moments, knowing that God's Word prescribes a path to victory over torturous
thought patterns, crippling fears, enslaving rituals, and debilitating
guilt.
For OCD sufferers and those that come alongside them, this book provides
rare insight into the thoughts of an OCD sufferer, shared in raw and honest
detail by the author throughout his entire life story, beginning with his
first memories of OCD at age five. For many years, the author asked for
wisdom from God, and this book is based on the wisdom he received. It is his
deepest hope that the lessons he learned will bring comfort and victory to
all Christian OCD sufferers-and to those who know, love, counsel, and
shepherd them.
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all
liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James
1:5)
About the Author
Mike began struggling with OCD as a young child and has spent most of his
life battling the disorder. By seeking God's wisdom through his own study of
the Scripture and through the careful mentorship of his grandfather, a
pastor theologian, Mike has identified many powerful tools for battling OCD
that every Christian OCD sufferer should know. Mike uses this Biblical
wisdom to evaluate common medical and psychological treatments for OCD,
showing that viewing the disorder though the lense of Scripture can multiply
the effectiveness of these treatments for those who believe.Mike earned a BS
in mechanical engineering with a minor in mathematics from Virginia Tech,
followed by an MS in finance from George Washington University. Mike and his
wife Rashel married in 2007 and moved from Virginia back to her home state
of California in 2010 where they currently live with their daughter. Mike's
favorite hobbies include sports photography and underwater
photography.
