Spurgeon's Sorrows: Realistic Hope for those who Suffer from Depression by Zack Eswine
5.0
A most encouraging read. This is useful both for the person suffering from depression as well as those who would seek to counsel and minister to the afflicted. There is no shortage of scripture citations, along with an insane number of quotes from Charles Spurgeon, who was no stranger to depression. The quotes are cited excellently as well, and there's a bibliography at the end of each chapter, so it's easy to follow up and go to the source material. Also of note - though the direct quotations from Spurgeon are obviously 19th-century english, overall the book is written in a very conversational tone and it is not at all difficult to read. Highly recommended.
