Depression is a subject that needs to be treated with insight and tenderness. It should not be treated as a sinful condition that comes to believers because they are bad or immature, since treating this matter so superficially causes more harm.
In that sense of importance, precision and affection, this book entitled "Companions in the Darkness" by Diana Gruver comes to our hands, it presents how depression was present in various believers throughout the time of christian history. It is important to note that these believers, even though they were instruments of God in their day, also struggled in some way with depression. The book does not seek to be a guide on how to solve depression, but to show us a group of friends, of brothers and sisters, who like many crossed the valley of darkness. These voices speak to us and tell us that depression is not the end of our lives.
The reader will find seven characters, whose stories will be of strength for our lives.
