A Candle At Midnight
While society finally recognizes depression as an illness requiring psychological and medical treatment, the spiritual dimension is still only beginning to be addressed.
Heidish shows how the Christian practice of vigil keeping can help illuminate the overwhelming experience of depression and renew a sense of God's care in the midst of it all. She provides various types of vigils, including: A Vigil for Getting Through the Day, A Vigil for Despair-When Words Fail, A Vigil of Hope.
Heidish's careful reading of the scriptures and the lives of the saints introduces readers to a rich array of companions who themselves kept vigil through depression. A Candle At Midnight reaches into the pain and the darkness of depression offering strength, solace, and hope.
