Top Customer Reviews Seeing Depression Through the Eyes of Grace

5.0 out of 5 stars From depression to joy–effective counsel

By L Rice on April 5, 2016

Format: Paperback

In Seeing Depression Through the Eyes of Grace, Julie Ganschow leads the depressed person from despair in living to joy in Christ. While she incorporates practical action, she focuses intensely on the heart and mind underlying that practical action, consistently drawing the reader to a right view of, and relationship to, God. Nine chapters drill down on heart issues like anger, pride, self-pity, guilt, etc. Along the way, clearly marked call-outs offer numerous heart-searching questions that help process the information. Besides leading a woman in self-evaluation, the questions make profitable discussion questions in counseling, whether formal or in casual discussion with a friend. Those chapters are capped with one on the joy that comes from union with Christ. The latter part of the book provides an update on the latest trends in psychology regarding the chemical imbalance theory in relation to depression. Both the depressed person and the counselor will find this book well worth reading.
5.0 out of 5 stars There is hope for depression!

By Molly on February 10, 2016

Format: Paperback

This is a solid and compassionate book about how to deal with depression from a Biblical viewpoint. I really appreciated how the book recognizes that depression is a complex issue. So often we can hear, “oh you just need to pray more,” or “you don’t have enough faith,” or something equally dismissive. This book goes right to the root of what causes most depression: unresolved sin in our own hearts. The book is also very interactive with multiple sections per chapter that stop and ask the reader questions about how they feel about what they’re reading and how they can apply the material to their own lives.

So often we’re told that depression is something out of our control and that people who suffer from depression have an illness which basically has no cure, only medication management. If you’re ready to consider that there is another source of depression and want to get to the root of it, I can’t recommend this book enough. I benefitted greatly from reading it.
