Through the Lens of a Spouse David M MC Cormick

A man chosen by God to help others shares how to help a spouse through depression in Through the Lens of a Spouse. Helping a spouse with depression is a humbling, sometimes lonely path. Although many churches offer love and support to those dealing with mental illness, others unwittingly blame the victim, causing the suffering church members to sit in silence. When David M. McCormick's soon to be wife Rita revealed she had been diagnosed with clinical depression in her early twenties, he would one day be forced to confront his own dark journey. A long, nonlinear road with peaks and valleys, McCormick waged a spiritual battle with strength, courage, and unconditional love. In this humorous and heart-wrenching memoir, McCormick reveals the struggles he and his wife endure, how God offers support through the journey of depression, and how to overcome depression through God's word. With Jesus's unconditional love and God's grace, McCormick and his wife continue to find the strength to persevere.
