Hope Again: a 30-day Plan for Conquering Depression

Depression is on the rise in today’s society particularly among Christians. Depression is a largely overlooked and much-misunderstood disease in the Christian world, yet there are vast numbers of Christian men and women who are looking for help with this problem. There is hope!

The book provides step by step encouragement and instruction for developing a fresh, updated plan to win over depression.
