Author Description

Depression is a universal human experience and its verbal expression is as old as the written word. Through the Jewish and Christian Scriptures and from the holy texts of ordinary people who share personal testimonies to the pain of depression, Rachel Callahan and Rea McDonnell explore the experience of depression: How do we name our depression? What have we been taught about depression? By whom? How have we learned to deal with it? Those who suffer depression and who, from its depths, seek peace, healing and God's own self will find in this book a caring and compassionate guide through the muddy swamp of depression.
