Spurgeon's Depression
 |
Description
Book Introduction
“No matter how deep you fall, grace goes down deeper.”
A book written in a style that combines the intellect of a scholar and the sensibility of a poet.
Providing deep empathy and comfort, as well as clear pastoral and practical insights.
A book that teaches a balanced perspective and love for the gospel and humanity.
A book that will be a soothing balm for those who walk through the dark night of the soul.
The great preacher Charles Spurgeon.
Did you know he struggled with the profound pain of depression throughout his life? This book is a masterpiece by Pastor Jack Eswine, who possesses both the intellect of a scholar and the sensibility of a poet, culling practical and theological wisdom on depression from Spurgeon's extensive sermons and writings.
The author does not objectify Spurgeon as a hero, but rather as a human being, vulnerable to suffering and loss, just like us.
Rather than reducing depression to a simple medical problem or something requiring magical solutions, we acknowledge that this suffering is a natural human experience and approach it with deep empathy.
This book offers both theological depth and pastoral clarity on depression through Spurgeon's experience.
And to all who are going through the dark night of the soul, it offers a message of hope that gives them the courage to breathe again.
Readers can find hope in the midst of the river of despair by experiencing the warm comfort of Jesus, who says, "Do not be afraid! The water may be deep, but the bottom is safe."
It will provide practical comfort and guidance to those suffering from depression, as well as to their families, pastors, and counselors who seek to help them.
