Summary: Most Helpful Resource for Depression
Review: Keen is not a counselor, she is an actual depression survivor, who writes with passion and clarity from notes of years of journaling.

Sacrificing her own intimacy at times, she risks sharing her own feelings and experiences so that others who go down the dark paths of this illness might find the hope she found, or found her.

All this, seasoned well with the grace and faith that Keen has in Christ makes this an outstanding resource for Christians and some non-Christians who struggle with this. Also useful for pastors, friends, etc. who deal with depression as well. The list idea which she utilizes to gain hope I've found most successful in beginning to break depression's hold.

Review: Nice insight for First Call fans. Overall, it's somewhat depressing in her portrayal of being single. There is more of a victim mentality then a true sense to reach out to others going thru similar experiences. Not sure where "ministry" comes in between the numerous stories of her kids and intense longing for a husband. Blessed are the "depressing"??
