Publisher's Description
You can become fully free from depression. Depression is real. It's not your fault if you have it, but it is your responsibility to do something effective about it. Although depression is often stigmatized or ignored, Christians commonly experience it. While it can sometimes feel like there are no solutions and that you can never escape depression, that isn't true. In this easy-to-read book, Dr. Len Lantz addresses aspects of faith and mood while providing real answers about what works for depression and why. In unJoy, Dr. Lantz shares engaging stories, common-sense reasoning, research-proven treatments, entertaining cartoons, and biblical encouragement for Christians struggling with "unJoy" and for their loved ones. There is hope and help for depression!

“UnJoy is one of the most informative books I have ever read on depression, its causes, and effective treatments. . . . UnJoy is a step toward ending the stigma and isolation that has prevented many Christians from accessing effective help.”
“Dr. Lantz has provided in unJoy an incalculable resource. For those of us who teach university students who are struggling with depression, unJoy explains the complexities of this disease. Moreover, unJoy helpfully balances the value of Christians pursuing psychiatric care alongside the cultivation of a vibrant spiritual life. There is hope and help for us and our students.”
“Dr. Lantz has effectively matched his professional experience of treating people affected by depression with the wisdom from Christian Scripture. This book has the potential to touch millions of lives affected by depression and provides hope for a better life for ourselves and others.”
“With psalms and questions to contemplate, information to educate, perspectives to break down stigma, and helpful suggestions, unJoy is sure to be a valuable and friendly what-you-need-to-know guide for many Christians who suffer from depression, or ‘unJoy,’ sometimes silently and sometimes, tragically, for far too long before seeking help.”
