I believe that Depression: What's a Christian to Do? is a must read. It's really a great guideline for all those currently suffering or have suffered from depression. It really is a great reminder that you never are alone no matter what the circumstances are. Many of those from the Bible have suffered from depression and this book tells of those people and how God's grace helped them overcome it. Great book!
