Companions in the Darkness; Seven Saints Who Struggled with Depression and Doubt with Author Diana Gruver S2E7
Episode description
As we continue in this series, The June Gloom, talking about various aspects of depression and how people deal with it... it is my honor to introduce you to Diana Gruver. She is the author of Companions in the Darkness; Seven Saints Who Struggled with Depression and Doubt.
In Companions in the Darkness, Diana looks back into church history and finds depression in the lives of some of our most beloved saints, including Martin Luther, Charles Spurgeon, Mother Teresa, and Martin Luther King Jr. Without trying to diagnose these figures from a distance, Gruver tells their stories in fresh ways, taking from each a particular lesson that can encourage or guide those who suffer today. Drawing on her own experience with depression, Gruver offers a wealth of practical wisdom both for those in the darkness and those who care for them.
