Deliverance From The Power Of Depression My Personal Journey

This book is the story of a warrior who fought a battle that was months long. The battle that tested him and his faith at every step and a battle that only a few can conquer. It was a battle with depression. Depression has the power to steal colors from anyone's life and make it black and white. When Willie encountered this beast, he was not in his best form. For him, it was as if he was thrown in a dark well with a dead end. It seemed impossible for him to escape it at that time. He became weak at first, but then he saw the light in that blinding darkness, it was the light of God. He kept following that little light, and soon it became a path for him to escape that dark well. This is the reason why he decided to write this book to help those suffering from depression, for he now knows better how depression can take the life out of a person and only leave a breathing body behind.

Overcoming Depression - One Christian's Perspective is a personal testimony that details a depressive episode in my life that spanned 2= years. There were a number of factors that led to this depressive episode in my life. I could not eat, I cried a lot, and I felt worse than sad. There were some days I could not get out of bed, and I began to have thoughts of suicide. Nevertheless, I would not let the emotional despair of depression take hold of my life without taking a stand; so, I purposed in my heart to take this journey to overcome depression leaning and depending on the everlasting arms of Jesus Christ. This particular time in my life was an emotional roller coaster I had never ridden before. So, as I tell my testimony of overcoming depression and how God delivered me from going down into the emotional pit of depression, it is my prayer that you would also purpose in your heart to overcome because greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world (Jn. 4:4).
