Out of Darkness: A Christian Approach to Overcoming Depression

Got the blues? Have you ever told yourself you should just snap out of it? Perhaps you have you been hurt in life and you think you should just “get over it.” Sometimes, we actually can shake off a bad mood. Serious depression, on the other hand, is a different matter. The Bible tells us it is foolish to sing songs to a sad man. Yet the scriptures are also full of hope and ancient wisdom that invite us to move from sorrow to joy. Psychologist Michael Kuiper pulls together both biblical principles as well as modern insights to offer hope and guidance in overcoming this common yet difficult life experience.
