Does it feel like your world has been turned upside down and no one knows how you feel or can relate to what you're going through?

When depression invades our hearts and minds, or those of our loved ones, many well-meaning Christians can respond with unhelpful advice on how to create light out of darkness. But perhaps the real question should be, what is blocking the light? Authors Gary Lovejoy and Gregory Knopf reveal why depression is a common symptom of so many very real problems that cast deep shadows, whether these problems are physical, emotional, or spiritual; often 'it's all three. Simply trying to will away the pain is no solution to what really troubles a soul. With authentic and practical wisdom, Light in the Darkness unpacks how depression in the believer can be an instrument of transformation, not a source of shame and self-condemnation. It's in the darkness that God provides the signal alerting sufferers to clear away life's damaging debris, which obscures the light of his truth. Book jacket.
