Out of the Cave: Stepping into the Light when Depression Darkens What You See

In Out of the Cave, join bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges as he helps you find liberating solutions to your struggle with depression by drawing from the life of the prophet Elijah.

You might be quietly wondering: Should a Christian even be having these struggles?

Depression is the number one health issue in the world today, yet those who suffer are still sometimes stigmatized—especially followers of Jesus. Many assume God's peace, power, and protection should prevent us from ever feeling anxious, depressed, and afraid. But the Bible teaches otherwise, particularly in its depiction of the life of the Old Testament prophet Elijah.

In Out of the Cave, Chris Hodges uses Elijah's life to show you that everyone is susceptible to depression. Even when you're walking closely with God, you can still stumble and get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions. But you don't have to stay there, because you serve a God who meets you in the darkness. Out of the Cave helps you:

• Remove the stigma of depression and realize you're not alone
• Understand the ways your temperament and view of God affect the way you handle depression
• Learn a comprehensive approach to wellness—mind, body, and soul—from Elijah's journey

With his trademark blend of Bible-based wisdom, practical application, and vulnerability in sharing his personal struggles, Hodges explores the causes of depression you can't change, the contributors you can conquer, and offers transformative hope and spiritual power to help you win the battle.
