About this audiobook
Many Christians mistakenly believe that true Christians don't get depressed, and this misconception heaps additional pain and guilt onto Christians who are suffering from mental and emotional distress. Author David P. Murray comes to the defense of depressed Christians, asserting that Christians do get depressed! He explains why and how Christians should study depression, what depression is, and the approaches caregivers, pastors, and churches can take to help those who are suffering from it. With clarity and wise biblical insight, Dr. Murray offers help and hope to those suffering from depression, the family members and friends who care for them, and pastors ministering to these wounded members of their flock.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very helpful and balanced position on how Christians should deal with depression. Murray takes on both those who say that medication is the answer and those who say that only biblical counselling is the answer. Then, from a carefully balanced biblical position shows that depression needs a multifaceted strategy to deal with it.
