“Koehler decided to write “Bipolar” to help other people going through a similar experience or who have a family member with the illness...it is an open door into Koehler’s life...he addresses his audience directly and, at times, with a witty and humorous tone despite the seriousness of the subject.”

“Koehler’s emphasis on the value of medical treatment and faith provides an added note of optimism for those who promote a convergence of faith and science in the successful treatment of mental illness.”

Notă biografică
John Koehler is an award-winning designer, entrepreneur, ministry volunteer, and author of five books. He served as director of Young Life Capernaum in Hampton Roads, a ministry that serves kids with disabilities. John received international acclaim in 1991 as Boomerang World Championship in Perth, Australia. He was also a member of the Foster's Boomerang 2000 Team, a touring troop that taught major league football and baseball athletes, and others, the gospel of boomerangs. In 2005, John published his first book, Bipolar by Koehler, about living with bipolar syndrome. Since then, he has given many talks to help people understand or survive the illness. In 2007, Koehler published Benjamin: the Road to Capernaum, a novel based on a crippled man in the Bible who was healed by a famous Jewish rabbi. His third book is My Inflatable Heart, a series of short stories about Capernaum and life recollections. John's latest book, The Case of the Russian Maids, the first of three murder mysteries that take place in Virginia Beach, is part of the Beach Murder Mysteries collection.
Comentariile autorului
This book was written based on journal entries from when I got sick. I wrote it to help others who are going through or have gone through a similar brain illness. It is also to help loved ones and family members.

Journal entry- November 30, 1988, 7:05 pm
I’m here at GW Hospital folks. Probably be here for a week or more. Bill (brother in law) is a Psychologist on Team A! I hope to get things worked out so I can get on with my life. The room is private. No phone. No TV etc. All my clothes are locked up. I’m in North Hall, where suicidals go.
BP Boy
My name is John Koehler and I am a man. I am a Christian man. I am a Bipolar (BP) Christian man. I am a Bipolar Christian seasonal affective man. I am a Bipolar Christian seasonal affective white-bread, artistic (not autistic) middle-class 45-year-old man.
If you met me in person, you would probably like me, as I am a likeable guy. True enough, I have many moments of weirdness, and meanness, and certainly I have a strong showing in the Stupid Human Tricks category. But my disposition is, generally speaking, light and fun. I love to laugh and look for the silly side of life when at all possible. I think that grownups are way too serious and full of gloom. Ha! Look at me, talking about gloom and how grownups need to lighten up, when here I am writing about manic depression.
