This work gently deals with persons that have Bipolar or live with someone that has it. It also gives many practical pieces of advice from the field of psychology and some from the Bible. Still, I missed the more radical approach that says, pick up your cross and follow Me. As I heard in a sermon about Bipolar. As it explained that the things the person is lacking they should do. Like for example, a selfish person should actively do self-sacrificing acts. Finally, everyone that deals with a person that has Bipolar should read this work. Especially, because it is extremely complicated to live or deal with it.
