Beschreibung

Deep, Dark, Black Hole, written in narrative form, describes the harrowing anguish a pastor and his wife experienced "walking out" his devastating health crisis. The title symbolizes the terror of many who suffer anxiety and depression and the consequent sense of hopelessness and despair they experience.


This book emphasizes the importance of family, friends, and faith as well as the collaborative support needed between medicine and ministry to survive the challenges of depression. Finally, it offers Scriptural encouragement and invaluable life lessons to promote hope and confidence that anxiety and depression are manageable - and offers reason to believe that things will get better!


Every day, 129 Americans take their lives. Anxiety Disorder is no respect of persons -- or religions. People of faith, however, are sometimes leary of seeking help for fear it will stigmatize their witness of God's love to others. This is the story of a Christian pastor's mental-emotional collapse and the horrors he and his family faced trying to survive this debilitating and devastating crisis. Many readers are "in this picture," suffering silently, either unsure where to go for help or refusing help altogether. Written in narrative fashion, the author walks you through the unfolding nightmare of this terrifying experience. Telling his story with breathtaking descriptives, the writer lets you feel his pain and hear his agonizing thoughts until finally, at long last, a faint ray of hope springs up and gives reason to believe he can survive this harrowing health crisis. Perhaps you or someone you know may need the hope resonating in the sharing of this story. Take a moment to see how it speaks to you...then pass it to a relative or friend who needs it as well.
