[Jonathan Roberts · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am doing some work to understand how depression works and how best to care for those who are suffering from it. The first half of this book follows a pastor’s descent into depression and how the Lord got him out of it. The second half is more from a clinical side (a doctor’s view). I though the first half very useful, the second was good though not as useful to me as the first. Still good though a bit dated

One of the best books on depression I've read.
