Excerpt: Chapter 1
In the middle of another sleepless night, I clung to my husband. Hopeless thoughts invaded my mind making me restless, unable to relax or sleep. Not only had I lost my perspective, I'd lost my ability to cope with daily living.
If this excerpt describes your situation or that of a loved one, there is hope. By sharing my experience, I hope to bring light to what seems like an endless darkness, to a brighter day.

I will tell you honestly that I am about half way through reading your book and I have nothing but praise for it. I would love to review it and see the book carried on the Rest Ministries Resource site.
Review: Among Christians there is often a major debate about depression and how God and His word and medicine fit together. As Linda Lufkin relates her journey through depression, she mixes the two concepts well. While Linda points out her need for doctors and medication, she also pulls the reader to God and His word through many appropiate Scriptures. This author also touches on how the past can affect depression. This enables her readers to start seperating self-worth from depression and therefore clearing a way for God to continue to heal the person.
As a person who also journeys through the hills and valleys of depression, I have read many books on the subject. A Pathway to Healing is the tops in combining pulling me closer to God for healing while not denying the possible need for medication. It is definitely a book that I will refer to again and again.
