Depression is one of the most serious issues plaguing humanity and one of the hardest to counsel. Using his own story of doubt, private journal entries and the wisdom of some his close friends, Rogers lays out his own ugly fight against the darkness.
He toils with the tension between the physical and spiritual elements of depression and spends a lot of time fleshing out a personal uneasiness with the doctrine of election.
If you have personal experience battling depression, here you will find a “fellow struggler” who can offer hope. If you are a pastor or counselor dealing with these issues secondhand, this may be a useful resource as it gives you a window into the fear and darkness of someone who has been there.
