If you’re a Christian wrestling with anxiety or depression, you probably have questions:

What’s happening to me? How can I have gospel hope and still struggle? Is medication okay? Should I categorize anxiety and depression as suffering or sin? Is this a spiritual issue, or a physical one? Does going to a counselor mean I lack faith? How do I get help while staying grounded in biblical truth? And who can guide me through this unfamiliar terrain?

Written from the perspectives of a practical theologian and a clinical social worker/therapist, Christine Gordon and Hope Blanton give you exactly the answers you need. By offering you a biblical framework and clinical definitions along the way, this book explores the spiritual, physical, emotional, and relational dimensions of anxiety and depression, giving you the clarity, hope, and information you need to move forward into a brighter future. Additionally, through relatable stories and heartfelt insights, you’ll also receive the compassion and comfort you’ve been looking for, as these authors are not only experts on the issue―they are fellow strugglers too.

Reconciling your faith with your mental health struggles is possible. If you are ready for compassion to meet your fears, clarity to dispel your confusion, and hope to light up your view of the future, this book is for you.
