When Darkness Seems My Closest Friend PB - Mark Meynell
Reflections On Life And Ministry With Depression - by Mark Meynell
For anyone affected by depression
This raw account of leading with depression offers hope and understanding
You'll be able to find a kindred spirit in the fog of depression
'I'm looking for the words and writing for those who can't imagine the words.'
Mark Meynell articulates a heart pain that most of us simply couldn't express. He connects strongly and immediately with fellow cave dwellers. We relive significant moments from boarding school, Uganda, Berlin and London. We visit the Psalms, Job and The Pilgrim's Progress.
If you're after neat conclusions and a fair-weather faith, this is not for you. This book serves up gritty reality and raw honesty, but also the heartfelt hope that the author's brokenness 'can somehow contribute to another person's integration' and 'inspire their clinging while beset by darkness or fog or blizzards'.
