The God of the Low Places

Finally a book that addresses both faith feelings and the facts of depression from a compassionate outlook. The specifics of chemical imbalance are discussed, along with the impact on those with depression and their relationships. The author shares some of her own coping mechanisms for dealing with the everyday realities of depression. It is easy at these times to feel like a sack of potatoes that's been left in the cellar too long, but the book reminds us that we are precious in God's eyes. Chapters address the doubts that enter into the God-relationship during depression: Why me? Is God angry? Is depression a punishment for my sins?
