Chris Hodges, bestselling author and pastor, helps those struggling with depression discover liberating solutions by drawing from the life of the prophet Elijah.
Do you have shame about dark thoughts swimming through your mind, or guilt about how powerless you feel to overcome negative emotions? As you are alternating between sadness and numbness, you might be wondering if a Christian should be experiencing these struggles.
Depression is a leading health issue in the world today, and those who suffer are still sometimes stigmatized, especially followers of Christ. Many just assume God's peace, power, and protection should absolve us from ever feeling anxious, depressed, or afraid. Yet, the Bible teaches otherwise, especially in its depiction of the life of the Old Testament prophet Elijah.
In Out of the Cave, bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges uses Elijah's life to teach us that everyone is capable of depression. Even when we're walking closely with God, we can still stumble and get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions. We don't have to stay there, since we serve a God who meets us in the darkness. Out of the Cave helps us:
- Remove the stigma of depression and recognize we're not alone
- Understand the ways our temperament and view of God impact the way we handle depression
- Learn a comprehensive approach to mind, body, and soul wellness from Elijah's journey
- Understand the ways our temperament and view of God impact the way we handle depression
- Learn a comprehensive approach to mind, body, and soul wellness from Elijah's journey
Hodges uses his signature blend of Bible-based wisdom, practical application, and vulnerability to share his personal struggles, exploring the causes of depression that we can't change, the contributions we can conquer, and offer transformative hope and spiritual power to help us win the battle.
