Have you ever tried to help someone battling depression? It’s not easy to know what to do, no matter how much we want to. Unfortunately, when a person we care about deals with it, he or she is often unable to let us know how to help.

“The Man in the Pit” is a short story to help people like you recognize, understand, and respond to depression. It is a simple, easy read with valuable insights for someone who wants to help a loved one struggling with depression. It’s written to give you tools you can use quickly - in minutes, rather than days or weeks. It is written not from the perspective of a psychologist, but from the perspective of someone who has experienced depression firsthand. If you know someone who finds themselves “in the pit”, it may be the best purchase you ever make.

I, initially, gave this a 4☆ rating only because I couldn't read it through the flood of tears drowning my eyes.

If you are depressed or you care about someone who is, you need to buy The Man In The Pit by David Bishop. This book is insightful, thought provoking, heart wrenching, AND encouraging.

From page one I began to cry.

There is no one size fits all in addressing depression. Depression is static in its presence yet fluid in its symptoms.

Mr. Bishop paints a verbal picture of some of the symptoms of depression.
He stylistically shares the frequent, common, inner monologue many sufferers have on a daily basis. He vividly describes numerous daily struggles experienced by those living with depression and living with a depressed person.

I felt a connection to the man in the pit. I feel like I know him personally. I recognized myself in many of those that passed by and saw my reflection in the mirror if their solutions.

His writing style draws you into the world of the man in the pit then suddenly snaps you back to reality when he switches styles to explain and encourage what was previously read.

I love this book. I've lived this book. I have read it twice and will read it again.

I recommend this book to anyone struggling with depression. I, also, reccmmend it to counselors, pastors, and to those who love someone who is suffering.
