Biblical Hope for Those Who Suffer from Clinical Depression
Studies show that everyone will encounter someone who struggles with clinical depression at some point in their lifetime. Depression's debilitating, pervasive joylessness is crippling. It can affect your body and brain, numb your emotions, and put strain on your relationships. For Christians, it can even inhibit them from delighting in the greatest gift ever known—the good news of the gospel.
What should Christians think about clinical depression? How can church leaders respond lovingly to those who face this dark, unsettling, and sometimes baffling dilemma? In What Does Depression Mean for My Faith? author and physician Kathryn Butler addresses common misconceptions about mental illness in the church. She offers grace, relief, and practical help to Christians who feel shame, and she equips church leaders with the tools they need to extend Christ’s love to the vulnerable.

“This book is compassionately tailored to those crushed by both depression and the gnawing fear that their depression excludes them from the hopes of their faith. While Dr. Butler and I come at the issue of depression from different angles, I love her practical tools for walking faithfully as a Christian in the face of severe depression. Full of scriptural perspective on weathering the storm, this book encourages hurting strugglers toward Christ!”
J. Alasdair Groves, Executive Director, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation; coauthor, Untangling Emotions

David Murray, Pastor, First Byron Christian Reformed Church, Byron Center, Michigan; author, Christians Get Depressed Too and Why Is My Teenager Feeling Like This?; coauthor, A Christian’s Guide to Mental Illness
