“Every generation faces its own pastoral challenges. One of the defining challenges of ours is the growing mental and emotional weight people carry every day. In Shepherds of the Mind, Tomy Cummins helps the church respond with wisdom, grace, and practical care. This is a helpful resource for anyone who wants to shepherd others well in a complex world.”

“People today are dying for a trustworthy guide who can tend to the deep needs of their souls—especially in places of mental and emotional suffering. In Shepherds of the Mind, Tomy is just such a guide. Here, he not only leads readers on a path to healing, but to becoming a hope filled presence in the lives of others who are suffering. And taking his cues from Jesus, Tomy faithfully points us to the Good Shepherd whose relentless purpose and passion is to make us whole.”

“As someone who has experienced mental health struggles and walked with loved ones who do, I know firsthand that it cannot be ignored. And yet, it’s not easy to discern how to best shepherd those who are in seasons of depression, anxiety, trauma, or grief. In Shepherds of the Mind, Tomy offers solid biblical insights and practical ministry counsel for those navigating difficult mental health seasons—their own or with others under their care. This resource is one you want on your bookshelf.”

“For the majority of my adult life, I have battled some profoundly deep and dark seasons of depression. What’s even more humbling is that I am a pastor. You know, the guy we assume has it all together. I could not imagine navigating those seasons without Jesus, the Good Shepherd. This book is so timely for a culture that is experiencing mental health struggles at unprecedented levels. I absolutely love this book because it is saturated with grace, wisdom, compassion and, most importantly, personal confession.”
