Depression is a largely overlooked and much misunderstood disease in the Christian world of books, yet there are vast numbers of Christian men and women who are looking for help with this problem. With an interest stemming from their own experiences, Sutton and Hennigan take an approach to overcoming life's difficulties that is grounded in both spiritual and medical principles. Conquering Depression provides step-by-step encouragement and instruction to manage and win over depression.

Having struggled with post-partum, this book was extremely helpful. I absolutely loved that it offered a Christian perspective on the illness of depression. Many Christians may feel that it is 'taboo' to feel depressed, and that as Christians we should be immune to thoughts and feelings associated with depression. With the perspectives of a Christian pastor and Christian medical doctor, this book offered practical advice, understanding and simple steps to take towards conquering your depression. They write with compassion and encouragement every step of the way. I definitely recommend!
