Description

Christians should have the answers, shouldn’t they?


Depression affects many people around us; we and our loved ones are not exempt. With this compassionate exploration of the struggles faced by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, a renowned 19th–century preacher, who himself endured bouts of severe depression, Zack Eswine provides realistic hope and practical guidance for those grappling with depression. Drawing on Spurgeon’s experiences and wisdom, Eswine offers readers comfort from a fellower sufferer, and hope from the same God.

 

Spurgeon’s words are not shallow: he knew the valley and he knew the God who walked him through it. The light Spurgeon found in his darkness can serve as a light in our own darkness and enable us to shed light on the darkness experienced by others.

 

Understanding Depression: Depression is complex and can affect anyone, including people of faith, without being a sign of spiritual failure.

Spurgeon’s Experiences: Spurgeon’s transparency about his struggles with depression provides an authentic example of dealing with mental health issues.

Biblical Insights: Biblical teachings and theological reflections offer comfort, emphasizing God’s constant grace and love even in despair.

Practical Advice: The book offers practical tips like seeking professional help, self–care, and community support, encouraging patience and trust in God’s presence.

Role of the Church: Advocates for a compassionate church culture that supports those with depression without judgment.

Realistic Hope: Emphasizes acknowledging the pain of depression while holding on to the hope of healing and comfort, assuring readers they are not alone.

 

Spurgeon’s Sorrows combines historical insights with practical and spiritual guidance, making it a valuable resource for anyone affected by depression, as well as for those who seek to support them.

Endorsements

Most Christian books on depression depress me. This book is a very rare and precious gift of encouragement and help. In it two godly pastor-scholars open up their lives to us and share their hearts. Both have suffered profoundly and both have known seasons of deep despair and darkness. Together they bring us God's word, helping us wrestle with the scary fact that our Heavenly Father loves us dearly and sometimes calls us to lifelong struggles with dark despair. I wish I could give this book to everyone I have ever counselled or ever will counsel. It gives us a life-changing, gospel-saturated perspective on this very prevalent, painful, and confusing problem.

Barbara Duguid, Author, Extravagant Grace

This book was the best book I have ever read on depression. If you know anyone or you yourself struggle with depression, this book is such an incredible encouragement. It is well worth the time. Even if you have never met anyone who struggles with depression, this book is great for your library because you will probably know a depressed person at some time.

This book was was timely for me. I cried as I read through it because it was such balm to my weary soul. I highlighted so many things that were used to heal my heart in ways I desperately needed. I cannot recommend a book more highly.
