About this title

From Library Journal:

The "IlluminationBooks" series aims to provide concise and helpful discussions of topics such as women's spirituality, stress management, and personal growth. This small volume deals with the reality and meaning of discouragement in every life. The authors, both counseling psychologists, acknowledge that long-term discouragement such as clinical depression may require professional treatment, but they emphasize how failure and loss can bring their own blessings, e.g., forcing one to examine outdated ideals. Using lessons from their own practice and from biblical examples, they stress prayer and Christian faith as steps to transformation. A practical book of encouraging insights.
