Depression, Finding Christ in the Darkness

The gospel is for those who have nothing, for those who are weary and bowed down. Jesus is near to you, and he asks you to bring him nothing but your failures, sins, and emptiness of soul. In thirty-one wise, deeply empathetic devotional readings, biblical counselor Ed Welch helps you to understand the darkness you are experiencing, to take the next small step that is possible for you today, to converse with Jesus honestly amid your pain—and ultimately to hear Christ’s words of compassion.

“[An] aroma of mercy, extension of God’s welcome, and on-ramp to Jesus’s grace permeates [Ed Welch’s] newest book. . . . As one who has struggled with feelings of depression, and has also struggled to love those who suffer seasons of life in the darkness, I was doubly blessed.” Scotty Smith, Founding Pastor, Christ Community Church, Franklin, Tennessee
