This is one book read that I would recommend to any Christians who are recovering from depression and trying to piece their lives back together. There are moments of theological wonkiness, sure, but Nouwen's meditations get at the heart of the fear, insecurity, and neediness that people who are depressed struggle with. More importantly, he points them to Christ who is the only one who can fulfill all their needs, and shows practical ways to find belonging as a child of God without expecting more from people in your Christian community than they are able to provide.
