About the Book

Finding a Way Forward

Depression can affect the way you think, feel, relate to others, and even the way you experience your faith. Getting a Grip on Depression was written to help you better understand what is happening and discover practical ways to move forward.

Drawing from decades of counseling, ministry, and crisis-response experience, John Thurman brings together sound psychological principles, practical tools, and the enduring truth of Scripture.

In this book, you’ll learn to recognize patterns that can keep you stuck, challenge thoughts that drain hope, strengthen healthy daily practices, and reconnect with the biblical promises that remind you that depression does not get the final word.

This isn’t about pretending everything is fine or offering easy answers. It’s about taking realistic, faithful steps toward greater resilience, renewed hope, and a stronger grip on life.
