Best Ebook Christians Get Depressed Too, by David Murray

Many Christians mistakenly believe that true Christians don't get depressed, and this misconception heaps additional pain and guilt onto Christians who are suffering from mental and emotional distress. Author David P. Murray comes to the defense of depressed Christians, asserting that Christians do get depressed! He explains why and how Christians should study depression, what depression is, and the approaches caregivers, pastors, and churches can take to help those who are suffering from it.

With clarity and wise biblical insight, Dr. Murray offers help and hope to those suffering from depression, the family members and friends who care for them, and pastors ministering to these wounded members of their flock.

I was very excited to receive this book and I actually ended up reading almost all of it the evening I received it in the mail. It is with great wisdom that Murray made this book so practical and short in length, because as he said, "Depressed people cannot read hundreds of pages" (xi).Though only 112 pages this book packs a punch. Murray manages to summarize various approaches to depression in Christian circles and he argues for a balanced approach that pursues humility and rejects dogmatism. I tend to agree.After pleading for humility in the midst of complexity Murray begins to address the condition of depression. He offers a very helpful ten points of false thinking, and also interacts with other symptoms. He then charts out potential causes and finally attempts to offer some help in exploring a cure. His final chapter is also very helpful, as it is directed towards those that minister to and/or live with those that battle depression.One other thing worthy of mention is Murray's Thought Inventory Questionnaire. Being introduced to this and his ten points of false thinking is certainly worth the cost of the book.I love Murray's balance and modeled humility in this book. I think this book would certainly be a helpful guide to anyone struggling with depression. I'm not 100% sure that I would go quite as far as Joel Beeke yet. Who says, "If I had a family or church member fighting depression, it is the first book I would hand out." But I have to say that it would certainly be in my top 3.This book is not meant to be a stand alone or a cure all for someone struggling with depression. But I think if a depressed person read this book they would be put on the right track at least. It's also a helpful corrective and addition to the library of any pastor.I would heartily recommend this book.

17 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Overcoming Depression 101 By Dr. David P. Craig David Murray admits that his book is not an exhaustive treatment on the subject of depression, but to be seen as an introduction to depression. If it were a class it would be Depression 101.As a pastor and life coach I have helped people with depression, and have personally battled depression my whole life. One of the things I really like about this book, is that it is short, sweet, and to the point. People who are battling depression don't feel like reading a long treatise on depression.In six short chapters Murray carefully and concisely writes about the (1) Crisis, (2) Complexity, (3) Condition, (4) Causes, (5) Cures, and those who (6) Care for those who are depressed. In each chapter Murray writes in a balanced manner, avoids extremes, and gives good sound biblical advice, ways to identify causes and cures of depression, through the practical use of various illustrations, examples, and solutions to help in the battle with depression.I think one of the most helpful Chapters is Chapter 5 were he gives the 5 Keys to developing a balanced lifestyle in reducing the stress and anxiety that often leads to depression: Routine, Relaxation, Recreation, Rest, and Reprioritization. I recommend this book for those who struggle with depression, and to understand those you care for who battle with depression. It is clear, concise, and communicates well the essence of where depression comes from, how to deal with it, and where to find hope for overcoming depression.

14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. For those who need help. By David Peterson Christians Get Depressed Too by David P. Murry is a wonderful book for those suffering with depression or those who know someone who is. Pastor Murry has done a wonderful and thoughtful investigation into the difficult subject of depression. He comes at depression from a well balanced biblical perspective allowing for causes which could stem from heart, body or soul.In six chapters he discusses why we get depressed, how to study the topic of depression, what depression is and then covers different methods to deal with depression. He discusses the physical, spiritual, mental approaches which have been taken up in the past and explains the strength and weaknesses of each. In his last chapter he address caregivers (spouses, pastors, friends) and gives timely advise on how we can help those dealing with depression. This is a great resource and I am glad to have this book on my shelf.
