Hope for the Depressed (MiniBook) is a 24-page minibook by Edward T. Welch, M.Div., Ph.D., that offers a biblical perspective on depression. This booklet describes the world of the depressed person, examines possible causes, and explains how depression can affect sleep, goals, relationships, and hope for the future.
Welch outlines small, practical steps to help those who are struggling learn to cry out to God and depend on him in the midst of their difficulty. The minibook is suitable for personal reading, pastoral care, and small-group discussion.
