Synopsis:

Practical wisdom for dealing with depression. 

Depression―whether circumstantial and fleeting or persistent and long term―impacts most people at some point in their lives. Puritan pastor Richard Baxter spent most of his ministry caring for depressed and discouraged souls, and his timeless counsel still speaks to us today. In this book, psychiatrist Michael S. Lundy and theologian J. I. Packer present Baxter’s writings in order to comfort, instruct, and strengthen all who struggle with depression.

• Presents excerpts of Richard Baxter’s writing intended to care for those struggling with depression by encouraging them with how to think biblically about depression
• Includes an introduction by renowned theologian J. I. Packer and commentary by former CIA psychiatrist Michael Lundy
• Helps Christians handle and live well with depression by dealing with the issues of sin, physiology, and temperament
