This is the second edition of a book that comes with high commendation from Dr. Roger Hurding as wise, factual, practical and spiritual. The author tells us that the first edition of 1989 'has been widely translated and read across the world'.
The author has evidently read widely in books by those trained and experienced in the treatment of depression, as becomes a former Director of Pastoring. I have to admit my admiration for the author's powerful mind and his liking for an ordered presentation: he once told me it might be because he had once been a schoolmaster.
