Welcome to my final blog in this series of Winning over Depression. I hope you have found the series useful and encouraging. In this blog I simply want to give you some recommended reading. So here goes:
Undoing Depression by Richard O'Connor, Ph.D. This is one of the best books I have read on depression from a secular point of view. Read this book!
Overcoming Depression by Paul Gilbert. This book is good at helping you understand the process of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I don't agree with everything he says as he doesn't write with God as part of the healing process. However, it is still a very good book.
Christian Set Yourself Free by Graham and Shirley Powell. Good book on spiritual authority and overcoming spirits. The drawback with this book is that I think it is perhaps a little simplistic. Nonetheless, it is the most thorough treatment of spiritual authority that I know of.
Awakening the Dead by John Eldridge. A book on physical and spiritual realities of living as a Christian. An easy read.
Keep fighting, hanging in there, and above all winning!
God's love to you,
Sean.
Thanks for sharing your life & heart on the issue of depression. I admire your honesty, and find it very helpful. It is not really an area that I struggle in, but the struggle in your thoughts (with the colums) I recognize in me. It is also helpful to understand depressed people better. So thanks, bro. Blezz!
