Depression

Looking Up from the Stubborn Darkness

By: Edward T. Welch

Narrated by: Richard Merton

Where is God in the struggle? Looking away from despair toward hope can feel risky. What if God doesn't come through for you? What if you don't feel instantly better? Instead of offering simple platitudes or unrealistic cure-all formulas, Edward T. Welch addresses the complex nature of depression with compassion and insight, applying the rich treasures of the Christian gospel, and giving fresh hope to those who struggle.

Depression can be a crippling mental health issue, but with the faith in God, new hope can be discovered and a path to becoming a healthy happy Christian again can be found.

Originally published as Depression: A Stubborn Darkness Light for the Path, this new edition is updated with added content.

Very helpful

The content in this book was so very good. I wish I had read it instead of listened to it. The narrator was just not the right choice. His voice sounds like listening to a movie trailer the entire time. It doesn’t seem appropriate for the heavy topic of depression.

This book is helpful for those who do not have depression to understand those who are experiencing it. In my case, trying to relate to a friend who is suffering, this book proved very helpful.

An Important Book for Our Age

Everything about the audiobook, from the content to the narration, was excellent. Highly recommend that Christians invest the time into this book, and see how the Gospel speaks to our depressed age
