Servant Leadership is the most effective type of leadership in today's world. But what does it mean to be a servant leader? And how do you do it? You may not know how to practice this type of leading, but do you recognize it when you see it? Though many people are attracted to the concept of being a servant leader in their homes, workplaces and community, they don't know where to begin. Old habits are hard to break. In their second collaboration, Dr. David Stevens and Bert Jones use pithy and succinct proverbs to teach you how to become the servant leader you desire to be. And as you apply these principles, you will become the servant leader God designed you to be, to influence generations of servant leaders to come.

What is depression really? A psychological disorder? An emotional problem? A spiritual weakness? A medical condition? People struggling with depression are often given simplistic answers, which can lead to fear of seeking help, and even a sense that they have personally failed in some way. With compassion developed from their personal and clinical experience as psychiatrists, the authors tackle the complexities of depression from a multi-disciplinary approach. In this thoughtful and practical guide, they weave together Scripture with science, theology with cutting edge scientific research, and the stories of many Christians who have suffered, to help those with depression to find healing. For Christians, hope for depression lies in a deep understanding of both what it means to inhabit broken bodies in a fallen world, and the hope we have in the gospel. By fully grasping the implications of both for our bodies, minds, and souls, can we learn what it means to walk by faith even through the dark valley of depression. "People often ask, 'if I am a Christian, then why am I depressed?' It's a more common question than you'd think, but given today's stress and upheaval in health and the economy, even stalwart followers of Jesus are struggling against depression. It's why my friends at CMDA have published this timely book called Downcast. This is a unique read given that it covers not only the medical issues surrounding chronic discouragement, but it offers biblical hope. I highly recommend this remarkable work for people you know who fight against clouds of depression!" - Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center "An amazing work - a gift to those who battle with depression and to those who help." - Tim Clinton, President of the American Association of Christian Counselors Check out cmda.org/store for more books!
