It is an old fashioned and incorrect belief that 'true' Christians do not get depressed. These misinterpretations can worsen a depressed Christian's conception of themselves and pile extra guilt and shame into their conscience.
In this book, "Christian's Get Depressed Too," author David Murray wants to remind readers that Christians DO get depressed and God will love them just as much! Murray discusses various techniques and approaches that Christians should adopt in their studying of depression and treatment of it.
Murray utilises Biblical scripture to offer reassurance and hope to any Christian suffering from depression. It is not only a useful resource to depressed Christians, but also to friends and family looking to support their loved ones. "Christian's Get Depressed Too" is also an excellent resource to pastors who want to re-assure and inspire a depressed member of their church.
David Murray is a well respected professor of the Old Testament and Practical Theology at Michigan's Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary.
