Spiritual Depression (It’s Causes and It’s Cure)
By D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones as reviewed by Pat Beaty
Do not yield to
temptation! If you are anything like
yours truly, you will read a few pages and exclaim: “This is not written in the
English language! And, I don’t even know
what some of these words mean!” Please
trust me, it is English—just not the American English you are used to. Don’t put the book aside, because you are in
for a pleasant surprise. This book is
drawn from a series of Sunday morning sermons and, although the author freely
admits it does not cover the subject completely, it is a fascinating, quite
absorbing explanation of something that Christian may “catch” unknowingly,
sometimes to wisdom ruination (my word).
The author explains the various
tenants (beliefs) of the world and does a superb job of illustrating the
Christian who has spiritual depression, alluding to various portions of the
Holy Bible and certain Biblical figures, most notably Paul, in his efforts to
make his points clear. This is a lengthy
diatribe unlike anything you have ever read but believe me, you will have gained
from reading it. By the way, our Pastor
refers to it often in his sermons.
