Restoring the UNLOVED - Paperback

With today's increased awareness of mental illnesses, depression is considered among the most widespread and destructive on the spectrum. Given its various manifestations and debilitating nature, it is not uncommon for someone suffering to feel completely derailed, longing for relief or purpose. When believers become afflicted, it can be increasingly difficult to reconcile the feeling that one's own mind is rebelling with the doctrine of spiritual fulfillment that we are taught in church and in Scripture. When our faith is built primarily on love, how does a Christian make sense of and deal with the isolation, sense of worthlessness, overwhelming sadness, and other trials and challenges associated with depression? In Restoring the Unloved, the author explores the spiritual implications of depression. Drawing from personal experience, and supported by Scripture at every turn, this book delves deep into the ways that such a mental illness may prey on the faithful, and how believers can draw strength from God to make the best of their situation. If you or someone you know could use someGod-given encouragement in a dark or uncertain time, this book is for you.
