Produktbeschreibung

Depression is a joy-sucking illness, and it can strike anyone at any time. It is no respecter of gender, ethnicity, education, or socioeconomic status. It is also no respector of religion. Christians can struggle with depression just like anyone and that is the demograhic targeted in this book. For too long the subject of depression in churches has been ignore. Or worse yet, churches comply with the stigmas surrouning mental health. When is the last time you heard a sermon focusing on depression and the Christian. Even if it is addressed there is still that unspoken idea that if you were really a good Christian you would be able to cure it yourself.

Tell that to the great authors and scholars, Charles Spurgeon, John Piper, Beth Moore, John Ortberg. The list is long. Throughout history great men and women of God has struggled with this illness. It has nothing to do with a lack of faith. We are all wired differently and certainly our brains are. Past trauma hardwires our brain to respond in different ways.

Sometimes medication is needed in the beginning so one can at least find the mental clarity to begin the hard work of battling their depression but it is not usually a long-term solution. This devotional supplies much needed help while a person is recovering from their depression. The sixty days provides insight into the illness with scripture verses and questions to help the reader begin their journey to wholeness. There are a number of appendices with additional "helps".

You do not have to fight this battle alone and there is victory. God is able to bring you to the other side of your illness and equip you to live a more joyful and fulfilling life.

God bless you as you take this journey.
