Many Christians mistakenly believe that true Christians don't get depressed, and this misconception heaps additional pain and guilt onto Christians who are suffering from mental and emotional distress. Author David P. Murray comes to the defense of depressed Christians, asserting that Christians do get depressed! He explains why and how Christians should study depression, what depression is, and the approaches caregivers, pastors, and churches can take to help those who are suffering from it. With clarity and wise biblical insight, Dr. Murray offers help and hope to those suffering from depression, the family members and friends who care for them, and pastors ministering to these wounded members of their flock.

In the Bible, milk and honey speaks of God's bountiful provision and symbolizes our basic need for solid spiritual food and sweet communion with the triune God through Christ. With that in mind, this devotional book dwells on God's sustaining grace revealed throughout Scripture. Unlike some daily devotional books that are an assortment of meditations with no thematic structure, Milk and Honey provides brief devotional thoughts that cover the major contours of Scripture in the course of a year. Bible books are divided among twelve pastors so that each month covers a particular portion of Scripture. The result is a devotional survey of the Bible by able expositors of God s Word. Table of Contents: January -- Genesis - Joel R. Beeke February -- Exodus - Gerald M. Bilkes March -- Judges, Ruth, 1 &amp; 2 Samuel, 1 &amp; 2 Kings, 1 &amp; 2 Chronicles - Hugh M. Cartwright April -- The Psalms - Jerrold H. Lewi May -- Ecclesiastes - Roy Mohon June -- Isaiah - Dirk J. Budding July -- Hosea - David P. Murray August -- The Gospels - Maurice J. Roberts September -- The Gospels - David H. Kranendonk October -- Acts - David Silversides November -- Romans - Bartel Elshout December -- 1 &amp; 2 Peter, Revelation - David Campbell

Christian Living

We live in a challenging cultural moment; there are reasons for great alarm and concern in society around us and it's easy to lose heart. Yet the Christian hope of the last things, so wonderfully disclosed in the Scriptures and so certainly embodied in our risen Savior, is a beacon of beauty and glory shining on our way as we traverse the ugly and the gloomy. In this book, you will encounter encouraging messages that address the end times from a variety of perspectives (exegetically, topically, historically, and experientially). Contributors include Michael P. V. Barrett, David Strain, Daniel Timmer, David P. Murray, Derek W. H. Thomas, Greg Salazar, Adriaan C. Neele, William VanDoodewaard, Joel R. Beeke, and Gerald Bilkes.

En estas páginas encontrarás una mina de consejos certeros, sabios y escriturarios para enfrentarte a diversos casos de depresión. Muchos cristianos consideran erróneamente que un verdadero Cristiano no se deprime, y ese malentendido no hace sino incrementar el malestar y la culpa de los que ya están angustiados mental y emocionalmente. El autor, David P. Murray, acude en defensa de los cristianos deprimidos con el postulado de que este mal sí les afecta. Nos explica cómo y por qué los cristianos debieran estudiar la depresión, en qué consiste esta, y la clase de enfoques que los cuidadores, los pastores y las iglesias pueden adoptar para ayudar a quienes la sufren. Con gran claridad y una aguda sensibilidad bíblica, el Dr. Murray ofrece ayuda y esperanza a las víctimas de la depresión, a los familiares y amigos que cuidan de ellas, y a los pastores que atienden a estos miembros heridos de su rebaño. "Recomiendo encarecidamente este nuevo y útil libro acerca de la depresión y la enfermedad psiquiátrica. Es la condensación de numerosas lecturas y de una gran sabiduría pastoral en el transcurso de unos pocos capítulos divulgativos. Desborda amor hacia los cristianos que sufren de esta forma y que necesitan nuestra mayor comprensión y un profundo tacto. Ojalá hubiera sabido las cosas escritas en estas páginas cuando era un ministro mucho más joven". -Maurice Roberts, actual ministro de la congregación en Inverness de la Free Church of Scotland. David P. Murray es professor de Antiguo Testamento y Teología Práctica en el Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary (Seminario Teológico Reformado y Puritano) de Grand Rapids, en Michigan. Nació en Escocia y allí ha trabajado y servido como pastor y conferencista. El Dr. Murray y su esposa Shona tienen cuatro hijos.
