Depression, Anxiety, and the Christian Life

Practical wisdom for dealing with depression. Depression―whether circumstantial and fleeting or persistent and long term―impacts most people at some point in their lives. Puritan pastor Richard Baxter spent most of his ministry caring for depressed and discouraged souls, and his timeless counsel still speaks to us today. In this book, psychiatrist Michael S. Lundy and theologian J. I. Packer present Baxter’s writings in order to comfort, instruct, and strengthen all who struggle with depression.
