I greatly appreciate Ed Welch, and have turned to him not only for help with my own heart, but for helping others. In the case of this particular book, Welch neither treats depression as a solely physical problem, nor as an exclusively something that is the fault of the sufferer. Welch’s approach is entirely biblical in its focus, and is hopeful in its posture. This is the first book I would recommend to someone who either thinks they might be depressed, or who has a loved one they are trying to help who might be depressed.
