Depression is the first book in the series "How to Kill Your Giants," a series of books dealing with the emotional giants in our lives such as Depression, Anxiety, Hopelessness, Fear, Abandonment, Confrontation, and more. These Giants loom large, limiting progress in our passage of life. Accomplishments come to a halt. Future goals become hazy. Joy of living is hidden. Dismayed and disheartened, we turn and follow a detour. A path of dark emotions, limited living and isolation from family and friends. How to Kill Your Giants begins on this detour path. Each Giant we face is identified, and we discover that our Giants of Today are the same as the Giants of Yesterdays. We examine the biblical people who also came face-to-face with similar interruptions in their normal life-style. We interview God to get His perspective on these Giants, and we gain new insights. We learn the tricks of these enemies - tricks to keep us on this detour of despair. Like David who killed his giant, Goliath, with one stone (1 Samuel 17), we select the biblical stone for each particular Giant. With the Giant's death, we step back onto the path. The detour is left behind, and living is restored. Begin with Darlene's account of facing the Giant of Depression. Follow her 14-year venture of traveling this destructive detour. Walk with her as she discovers new truths that turn her darkness into light. Light that leads her back to the path. Path of purpose. Path of restored relationships. It's a journey from heaviness of spirit to lightness of liberty. Books 2 and 3 of this series are available now in print and Kindle format. They are Anxiety and Hopelessness.
