There is a positive and light-filled message that permeates throughout the book. It is a story of learning, of growth and of healing. It is the acceptance and understanding of a power and love greater than oneself. It can be read as a traditional book from front to back or it can be read piecemeal, depending on the inspiration that is needed in that particular moment. Each poem or essay can stand alone. This work is for those who have experienced, or are presently experiencing, depression. It is for those who have someone they care for who is experiencing depression. It is also for those with no faith, a little faith or a strong faith. That is who would read this book. It is meant to be shared. Let the light shine in.

Download or read book Out of the Cave written by Chris Hodges and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you feel guilt and shame about negative thoughts and emotions and your inability to overcome them? Bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges helps those struggling with depression find liberating solutions by drawing from the life of the prophet Elijah. You might be asking, Should a Christian even be having these struggles? Depression is the number one health issue in the world today, yet those who suffer are still sometimes stigmatized--especially followers of Jesus. Many assume God's peace, power, and protection should prevent us from ever feeling anxious, depressed, and afraid. But the Bible teaches otherwise, particularly in its depiction of the life of the Old Testament prophet Elijah. In Out of the Cave, Chris Hodges uses Elijah's life to show us that everyone is susceptible to depression. Even when we're walking closely with God, we can still stumble and get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions. But we don't have to stay there, because we serve a God who meets us in the darkness. Out of the Cave helps us remove the stigma of depression and realize we're not alone; understand the ways our temperament and view of God affect the way we handle depression; and learn a comprehensive approach to wellness—mind, body, and soul—from Elijah's journey. With his trademark blend of Bible-based wisdom, practical application, and vulnerability in sharing his personal struggles, Hodges explores the causes of depression we can't change, the contributors we can conquer, and offers transformative hope and spiritual power to help us win the battle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man chosen by God to help others shares how to help a spouse through depression in Through the Lens of a Spouse. Helping a spouse with depression is a humbling, sometimes lonely path. Although many churches offer love and support to those dealing with mental illness, others unwittingly blame the victim, causing the suffering church members to sit in silence. When David M. McCormick's soon to be wife Rita revealed she had been diagnosed with clinical depression in her early twenties, he would one day be forced to confront his own dark journey. A long, nonlinear road with peaks and valleys, McCormick waged a spiritual battle with strength, courage, and unconditional love. In this humorous and heart-wrenching memoir, McCormick reveals the struggles he and his wife endure, how God offers support through the journey of depression, and how to overcome depression through God's word. With Jesus's unconditional love and God's grace, McCormick and his wife continue to find the strength to persevere.

Download or read book Bipolar Faith written by Monica A. Coleman and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overcome with mental anguish, Monica A. Coleman's great-grandfather had his two young sons pull the chair out from beneath him when he hanged himself. That noose remained tied to a rafter in the shed, where it hung above the heads of his eight children who played there for years to come. As it had for generations before her, a heaviness hung over Monica throughout her young life. As an adult, this rising star in the academy saw career successes often fueled by the modulated highs of undiagnosed Bipolar II Disorder, as she hid deep depression that even her doctors skimmed past in disbelief. Serendipitous encounters with Black intellectuals like Henry Louis Gates Jr., Angela Davis, and Renita Weems were countered by long nights of stark loneliness. Only as Coleman began to face her illness was she able to live honestly and faithfully in the world. And in the process, she discovered a new and liberating vision of God. Written in crackling prose, Monica's spiritual autobiography examines her long dance with trauma, depression, and the threat of death in light of the legacies of slavery, war, sharecropping, poverty, and alcoholism that masked her family history of mental illness for generations.
