While conceding that deep feelings of depression and giving up hope can be an unavoidable aspect of the human experience, this healing guide explores strategies that serve as models for a more positive and optimistic life. Drawing upon his years as a clinical therapist and spiritual chaplain, Rabbi Levi Meier offers readers a fresh approach to the Bible, drawing relevancy and sage advice from an ancient text and, in doing so, illuminating the keys to transforming tragic circumstances into a force for healing.
