Description

For sufferers and supporters: making sense of dark days.


Biblical counsellor John Kwasny helpfully tackles the issue of depression in this latest addition to the popular Track series. Sensitive and informed, Kwasny addresses the reality of depression, investigates the root of it and presents biblically and pastorally sound advice on how we should react.

 

Specifically tailored for students and young adults, this short book will be of assistance to those who encounter depression themselves, and those who seek to support friends or family members. A message of hope and help, to take to heart and to share with others.

Track is a series of books designed to disciple the next generation in the areas of culture, doctrine, and the Christian life. While the topics addressed aren’t always simple, they are communicated in a manner that is.

 

With the intention of the content being absorbed, examined and applied, each chapter includes a summary of the main point, and reflection questions that can be used individually, in 1–2–1 mentoring or in a group setting.

 

Endorsements

With all the things in this broken world that press down on us, it’s hard to imagine anyone who couldn’t benefit from John Kwasny’s scripturally–sound guidance. I will certainly recommend it for our church’s counseling library.

A sensitive and informed approach within a biblical framework, this is an excellent book to give to younger but also older people who grapple with depression.
