Dr Karl Menninger operated The Menninger Clinic in Kansas to provide care of patients with disorders such as anxiety and depression. The book was introduced to the congregation of Calvary Church, Charlotte, North Carolina by Dr. Ross Rhoads who was the minister in the 1970s. It is an excellent book, and I considered it a "keeper" but did loan it to someone and it was never returned to me. Trying to purchase this book in the bookseller markets results in exorbitant prices. The last Chapter of this fine book is entitled "Bluebird on the Dung Heap" where the Christian is encouraged to sing a song despite the conditions in the world today. This is a rather poor review, for I lack such skills to do a good job, but it is an excellent book.
