So when I read non-fiction books I generally place them into some sort if category in my head based on usefulness. The categories generally go something like this: not useful/learned nothing; not useful or remotely interesting; interesting but not practical; useful, but wouldn‰ÃƒÂ›Ã‚ªt read again; useful, but would read again; useful and will keep on hand to refer back to. This definitely falls into the last category. This book is perhaps the most useful book I have read for the woman who is dealing or has dealt with burnout or depression.

The author is a medical doctor and has knowledge in counseling, yet this is one of the most practical, easy to read books on this topic. Her knowledge is evident. She discusses burnout, depression, health, medications and spirituality. She talks about how everything is interconnected and one area of life can impact another. The author addresses a topic that is often taboo in Christian circles in a gracious and knowledgeable way.

While the author writes from the experience of being married with children, I think that the tools and truths given in this book are useful for any age. I could have used this book as a single college student.

I received a free digital copy of this book from Crossway and Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. BUT I will be buying myself a physical copy of this book to keep on hand. ( )
