The author highlights the importance of studying depression and how to deal with those who have it. Hope is an underlying theme throughout this book.

This wonderful man of God showed his humanity as he shares his story of being on the brink of suicide. As a former youth pastor, he has a wonderful testimony.

This is one of my favorite Christian books on depression. Holding onto joy in this life is difficult. This book does an incredible job at pointing readers to the source of real, deep, and lasting joy – the kind that truly combats the weight of depression. It’s beautifully written and full of practical wisdom on overcoming depression.

This book teaches fundamentals about depression, and psychology in general. The authors are both pastors, both have doctorates in psychology, and are clearly educators at heart. A helpful example is their use of the ABC’s of depression: Affect, Behavior, Cognition. It’s a simple framework that folks can use to examine their experience of depression and change how they feel, how they act, and how they think. This book is no substitute for therapy, of course, and there are many forms of depression that would require more depth than this (or any book) can uncover–but it’s a helpful start.

This is a very useful handbook for both those experiencing depression and those caring for them. I particularly liked the straightforward way in which depression, and its symptoms, are explained. And it sets out in simple terms ways in which Christians can support each other during periods of depression. There’s no psycho-babble: just good common sense and imaginative use of the Bible and prayer as mechanisms of support.
