It would be wonderful if the agony of depression could be lifted by a simple conversation or a single decision. But anyone who has found themselves in the darkness knows that it can't. What is needed is an ongoing conversation and a daily decision--an ongoing conversation in which we hear words of instruction and hope from God himself, and a daily decision to take hold of that hope. That's what this book enables readers to do--to hear God himself speaking into the darkness and to consider and take hold of the hope he provides.--Nancy Guthrie, Author; Bible Teacher The first time I met Ed Welch, my biggest takeaway was how palpable he made God's compassion and kindness. That was over thirty years ago. Thankfully, that same aroma of mercy, extension of God's welcome, and on-ramp to Jesus's grace permeates his newest book, Depression: Finding Christ in the Darkness. As one who has struggled with feelings of depression, and has also struggled to love those who suffer seasons of life in the darkness, I was doubly blessed. This thirty-one day devo collection will leave you feeling more like you've been found by Christ afresh than like you had to look hard to find him.--Scotty Smith, Founding Pastor, Christ Community Church, Franklin, Tennessee; Author, Every Season Prayers There are few sources of suffering more common and more mysterious than depression. It often sweeps over us without warning and arrives without discernible cause. In such times we long for someone to take us by the hand and coax us forward with gentle confidence. This is exactly what Ed Welch does in this small book. Like a kind friend, he spends a month with us, teaching us, instructing us, and always leading us to the Word of God.--Tim Challies, Blogger, www.challies.com This book is a wise and pastoral guide for those who are experiencing depression. I'm grateful to Dr. Welch for this devotional, which from a holistic point of view connects sufferers with our only hope in life and death. And I'm thankful for his long ministry of compassion to sufferers.--Matthew A. LaPine, Author, The Logic of the Body; Director of Discipleship Equipping, Citylight Church, Omaha, Nebraska This is a masterpiece because of its theological content and beautiful writing style. Much more importantly, the tender mercies of Christ emerge from every page. Many who are suffering from depression will be immensely helped by this devotional.--Deepak Reju, Senior Pastor, Ogletown Baptist Church, Newark, Delaware; Author
