Description

About the Book

A mother-son memoir of surviving psychosis, suicide, and the long road back - a testimony of God's faithfulness, mental health, and miraculous survival.

Book Synopsis

"I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD." -Psalm 118:17

Some survival stories tell you what almost killed a man. This one tells you why he is still here.

Thoris Lamar Burt built the life he was supposed to build-career, family, faith. And on a cold November night, none of it could keep him out of the garage. What kept him was not willpower. It was a praying mother. A faithful God. And a purpose he could not yet see.

Told in two voices-a son who survived psychosis and a suicide attempt, and the mother whose prayers refused to let the story end there-Why HE Kept Me walks through twenty-nine chapters of testimony, from roots to rest, each one closing with reflection and scripture you can carry into your own battle.

Brokenness is not the end of the story. Mental illness does not erase God's hand on a life. And if you have ever survived something you cannot explain, this book will help you name it.

You were kept for a reason.
