Denise Wynn

This is an incredibly honest memoir of hope! The author describes her challenges with bipolar disorder with raw authenticity and a beautiful sense of humor. It is a story of incredible hope, the life saving power of Jesus Christ and the fulfillment of His plan for her life.

Kimberly Driscoll

As a family member who lived through Pam’s manic/depressive episodes, even I had no clue as to the depths of her despair. Pam’s book would help other family members who have a bipolar loved one by giving them insight into the thought process of someone going through this ordeal and ways to be supportive.

Eleanor C. Maldonado

The Furnace of Affliction is an honest, personal portrayal of one individual’s struggle and triumph with bipolar disorder. This memoir is a true testimony to faith, hope, and the resiliency of the human spirit. I would highly recommend this book to anyone searching to find purpose and light in the face of adversity.

I loved reading The Furnace of Affliction: Surviving Bipolar Disorder because in the midst of suffering it shows that there is always hope. Jesus is always watching and waiting to help those who will ask. Each chapter begins with a bible verse that touches the soul.

Ms.Shipp demonstrates her strength in battling this difficult bipolar disorder. She keeps her faith in the Lord and provides a wonderful testimony to His faithfulness. She also stresses the need to stay on medication for life which is one of te things people tend to disregard.
