Perth-based pastor Rob Mason is refreshingly open in his memoir-come-self-help book Shame Off You. Telling the story of his diagnosis with anxiety and panic attacks, he succinctly communicates the medical and theological aspects of mental illness with compassion.
Identifying shame as the cause of his struggles, he sets the book up as a guide on how each of us can overcome shame. Combining Scripture with his experiences in counselling, Mason has created one of the most relatable and well-rounded mental health memoirs in the Christian market.
This is a must-read for any Christian struggling with a sense of anxiety and creates a new benchmark for Australian masculinity that shows men can be both strong and vulnerable.
