There are thousands of books on depression. But oftentimes they give very general recommendations that don't apply to everyone and ignore the spiritual aspects of a person.

"… I saw a one-size-fits-all answer given to depressed people. They were told they had nothing to be depressed about and to 'just get over it.'" —Dr. Gregory Jantz

Imagine having a book that pulls from Scripture and science that speaks to the whole person, showing them how to be restored emotionally, intellectually, relationally, physically, and spiritually.
