From the Author
I have tried to write the type of book I wish had been available for me in the first few months of my battle to get well. The struggle may have been somewhat quicker and easier.
For many years I sought freedom from the deep depressions and unexplainable mood swings that haunted me. They colored every relationship - with my husband, my children, my friends, my church, and my God. I believed that if I could only make myself a good enough Christian, I would be able to control my moods.
God was too faithful to allow me to believe that I could do anything in my own strength, apart from Him. He waited until I gave up completely. Then He climbed down into the pit of despair with me and helped me find my way out.
It has been a long process and a lot of hard work. I haven’t achieved perfect wholeness and won’t this side of heaven. But Jesus is always right there with me, exhorting me to stand firm and telling me the truth. I am His child and He will NOT let go of my hand.
I could praise Him for the rest of eternity and never hope to express everything He means to me!
