“Some people say that Christians should never be
depressed. I take issue with that, being a quadriplegic who has battled cancer
and struggles daily with pain. I love my Savior, am passionate about His
Gospel, and enjoy the ministry He has given me. But that does not exclude me
from occasionally stumbling into the miry pit of dark emotions. I
enthusiastically endorse this book and recommend it to pastors, families,
leaders, and Christian counselors!”
— Joni Eareckson Tada,
director of Joni and Friends International Disability Center, author, and
speaker
In
this achingly honest work, Dr. Somerville explains that depression is not
restricted to the secular world. Throughout history, godly men and woman—among
them Martin Luther and Charles Spurgeon—have suffered in the deep trenches of
dark emotion. But God’s Word promises victory at the seemingly unreachable end
of trials, and new strength forged from adversity and pain in the new light that
follows the darkness of despair.
You
are not alone. In If I’m a Christian, Why
am I Depressed? you will find not only the author’s testimony but also
those of others who have struggled with depression and through prayer and
biblical counseling have overcome by embracing Christ’s healing love.
