The book is fantastic and exceedingly helpful for dealing with the issues. I am writing this review because I would like to encourage anyone struggling with these issues to get a hold on this book. The thing about this book is that it does not do the work for you. It takes you putting in effort to pull out those biblical concepts and their applicability to your life, in the same way you approach a sermon or studying scripture. You can sit back and hope that something will hit you or you can be intentional about truthfully answering the questions presented, looking at the references to scripture and applying it to your life.

Although I enjoyed reading this book because it gives examples of people in the bible that suffered from depression from time to time, it isn't a book that will really help those of us who want to get better or keep us from falling farther into the pit.
