The Day of Trouble: Depression, Scripture, and the God Who Is Near (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781774840887)

"Will I ever see the light of day again?"

"Has the Lord abandoned me?"

"Will I ever not feel numb?"

These are some of the numerous questions that play on repeat in the mind of a depressed person. In fact, many people are paralyzed on the long descending path of darkness as they ask questions like these. Frantically, some people seek to address the problem of depression quickly from a strict materialist perspective. Others see it solely as a spiritual issue. In In the Day of Trouble Joey Tomlinson Jr. seeks to acknowledge and counsel the body and soul of people in the dark, isolating cave of depression. In the book you will find a biblical, practical, and sustainable guide to combat depression on all fronts. Therefore, this book addresses four accelerators for depression: biological, changes in life, trauma, and personal sin. Written to be read in the context of community, the book is great for counseling, small groups, and mentor relationships. This book will demonstrate that you are not alone. You can have hope.
