A good place to start

This is a good place to start for Christians who may be experiencing depression. It gives a good description of what depression is and isn't, some helpful means of coping with causes of depression and ways of getting relief and some valuable references to other sources of help. It's not a comprehensive guide, but it is a good book to start with, especially for people in the early stages of depression or with relatively mild symptoms. It's a good book for pastors to read and use in their counseling since they may be the first person that depressed people turn to for help. There is good advice in here about how they can help people with milder cases and when people with more serious depression need to be referred to other professionals for help.
