""When Darkness Falls is a wonderful resource for anyone walking through the darkness of depression. Carolyn's vulnerability in sharing real-life stories creates an instant connection, reassuring readers that they are not alone in their struggles. Woven throughout is a faithful reinforcement of Scripture, pointing back again and again to the unshakable truths of God's Word. With central biblical themes of hope, trust, and faith, this book doesn't minimize the pain of depression, but instead gently guides the reader into God's presence, where healing and a deeper understanding of His purpose can occur. It is both deeply relatable and spiritually grounding--an invaluable companion for anyone seeking to walk with God through the shadows of depression and the dark valley of despair."" -- Leah Vintila, author, Bible teacher, and founder of Ardent Ministries and the Ardently His app ""Carolyn Salmon Kazmierczak, in her book, When Darkness Falls, talks about the painful problem of chronic depression. Carolyn opens up her life to the reader, speaking honestly about the day to day life of someone dealing with depression. Using Scripture, she also invites the reader to participate in the healing process through a greater understanding of God and His Word. She includes a section of encouragement that helps the reader to pause and reflect, journal, and study Scripture. She points out healing solutions through biblical characters and other Christians who have dealt with depression and have found ways to overcome it and live productive Christian lives in spite of it. Carolyn's voice is encouraging and her words are informative, honest, and helpful. I recommend this book to all who suffer from depression."" -- Denise George, author of 31 nonfiction books and a teacher with Christian Writers for Life ""Too many books on depression speak from the outside looking in. This one speaks from within the shadows--and shines a light toward hope. Carolyn Kazmierczak writes not as an expert above the struggle but as a fellow traveler through it. Her story is soaked in Scripture, seasoned with sorrow, and shaped by a Savior who never lets go. Each chapter pulls back the veil on what it means to follow Christ when your feelings betray you, when prayers feel unanswered, and when darkness falls without explanation. With raw honesty and redemptive hope, Carolyn walks alongside the weary, not minimizing the pain but magnifying the One who enters it with us. This is not a self-help manual--it's a companion for the soul anchored in the truth of God's Word. Readers will find their tears mirrored, their faith strengthened, and their steps redirected toward the healing heart of Jesus. Whether you're battling depression yourself or loving someone who is, this book will help you see that grace runs deeper than despair--and that your story isn't over."" -- Dr. Wayne Stiles, Author of Waiting on God ""With raw humility, Carolyn walks with those suffering from depression, sharing personal stories and introducing other like friends from the Bible. Stumbling together over the rough terrain, she shows her fellow warriors how to fall at the mercy seat of Christ, offering Him accolades for the victories that lead to the sanctuary of God. At every turn, I saw hope on the horizon."" --Debbie Dickerson, Managing Editor, Mature Living
