The title of this post is also the title of a new book I’ve written and recently had published by Focus Publishing. In the book I attempt to deal with what has been called the common cold of mental ailments from a distinctly biblical perspective.
The back cover puts it this way: if you are not facing the problem now, you know someone who is or one day you will personally face it. Moreover since this is true, it is my conviction that it is important for all of us to know how to deal with depression as God intended. It is my conviction that each of us needs to know how to define and describe depression accurately ahd biblically; we need to know how and why depression develops and we need to know a biblical procedure for defeating or preventing depression for our own sakes and for the sake of helping others.
The question is: do you know how to do these things? You can and you should. So get to work studying Scripture on the subject and after you’ve done that you may want to do more research by reading the book Out of the Blues.

THATS SO TRUE!
Not everyone has struggle with abuse, mollestation, divorce, addiction, etc… but I believe everyone has struggled with depression at some stage or another in their lives.
As for myself, I worked through that book HOMEWORK MANUAL FOR BIBLICAL LIVING of yours, and that has been a great help. the biggest reason for my depression in my life is absolutely SELF FOCUS! and that book has helped me a lot. i cant wait to read this new book OUT OF THE BLUES!
God bless!
