It addresses types of depression, proven treatments, strategies for wellness, and God's plan for wholeness. Hart and Weber redeem depression as an opportunity for growth and change, helping readers not only to find healing but also to build resilience. A practical and inspirational resource, this book contains exercises that encourage proactive, intentional living. A special chapter for loved ones and friends helps those readers better understand depression and how to be supportive.
