I have been dealing with anxiety and depression for almost 4 years. As a Christian, this book reconnected me with God and I was set free from many lies of Satan that I have been believing about myself and God for years. It is a must read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am the Director of a Freedom in Christ minsitry in California. I used this book in conjunction with the video series entitled "Finding Hope Again" in an eight week seminar. Each week the attendees read one chapter, viewed the corresponding video and discussed what they were learning. This book was a very effective way of reinforcing the videos. People attended the seminars because they were suffereing from depression. Most attendees admitted to learning something helpful that they did not previously know about depression. Some attendees followed up with counseling and visits to medical doctors for assessments concerning the possible need for medication. Some have requested to be led through the steps to freedom as a result. In my opinion "Overcoming Depression" is a book of great value on its own merits, but when used in conjunction with the corresponding videos it is extremely helpful to people suffering from depression or for those who are trying to help others who are suffering.

This is a good book up to a point. However, it has not serious advice for people who must take medications to manage depression. Becoming cured is not as simple as the book makes it sould. I threw the book away.

i have done the most internal healing of my adult life by use of this book......... i was at the point where i thought i might need medicine to help me overcome this black cloud that took residence over my head.... but through this empathetic, well written book, i was able to allow God to reveal things to me that i had not dealt with and lead me to healing, rather than covering up the root of my depressions with things and actions.......... i read it from cover to cover, underlined throughout and took notes.... i am just starting overcoming addictive behaviors next and expect more healing to come from studying that one as well

This book was extremely powerful in a soft yet christian way. I could not put this book down. Once I was finished I was looking for more to read. The author's are excellent with the manner in which they used the bible to help you understand depression...Wonderful book.
