Can a saved person be in a dark place? And can God deliver them from it?

So many are fighting silent battles with depression, fear, anxiety and temptation behind a smile and an “I’m blessed.” This powerful 13-chapter book unmasks those dark places, gives you the weapons of the Word and prayer, and walks you from David’s hiding place to the hillside of Psalm 121.

There is hope

Don’t give up. There is help.
