Encompassing morning and evening prayers, this title charts the author's 'journey into darkness', his 'crisis', and finally, his 'journey towards the light'. It addresses the very particular need of those passing through a similar 'dark night of the soul'.
This is a disarmingly honest and wholly absorbing guide through depression towards healing, by a high-profile Christian leader and writer. Early in 2007, after a long and distinguished public ministry, Denis Duncan suffered three crises. One was financial, involving betrayal by someone to whom he had offered substantial help; one concerned a water leak that could not be traced, leading to a potential property disaster; the third was of a personal nature and had serious implications for his future. The result was a period of severe depression. This devotional diary, encompassing morning and evening prayers, charts the author's 'journey into darkness' (Days 1-10), his 'crisis' (Days 11-16), and finally, his 'journey towards the light' (Days 17-40). It has been written to address the very particular need of those passing through a similar 'dark night of the soul', and offers real encouragement to the reader to believe that healing will be possible.
