Spurgeon's Sorrows: Realistic Hope for those who suffer from depression by [Eswine, Zack]

This little book is packed with truth for the hurting soul and for the caregiver of the hurting soul.  There is still so much misunderstanding surrounding depression.   Sadly, the greatest misunderstood is the “depressed Christian”, because there is this idea that a Christian is not supposed to be depressed.  Thankfully, Zack Eswine chose to pull back the dark curtain.  This is a must have on your book shelf.  Even if you yourself are not hurting, you will encounter hurting people daily.  Take the time to educate yourself on how to best help those around you.

This book is in three parts:

Part One: Trying to Understand Depression

Part Two: Learning How to Help Those Who Suffer from Depression

Part Three: Learning Helps to Daily Cope with Depression

A quote that stirred my heart deeply:

The mind can descend far lower than the body, for in it there are bottomless pits.  The flesh can bear only a certain number of wounds and no more, but the soul can bleed in ten thousand ways, and die over and over again each hour.  Charles Spurgeon
