Chronicle In Favor Of Books Bright Days, Dark Nights: With Charles Spurgeon in Triumph Over Emotional Pain
This is a wonderful little book. Elizabeth Skoglund has done a fine job of weaving together the writings of Charles Spurgeon on topics dealing with emotional pain and suffering. Each of the chapters are broken up into short segments. The book is best read "devotionally"; a little at a time. It has been a great help to me as a supplement to regular prayer and Scripture reading. Chapters are titled "Confidence", "Depression", "Anxiety", "Loneliness", "Change", and "Transition" (dying). Spurgeon, having suffered from these emotional problems himself, was ahead of his time in recognizing their more common sources and in dispelling some of the easy answers that are still common in evangelical Christian circles today. The first chapter, "Body, Mind and Spirit" offers a good foundation. It recognizes that we are whole persons, not separable into neat compartments. Emotional problems often stem from physical as well as spiritual causes. This book offers strength and courage from a great man who has been through plenty of dark times himself

If you have an interest in Charles Spurgeon (and I recommend you do) then this will be a good devotional read for you. Skoglund does a good job of weaving numberous references from Spurgeon around several different important themes.Here is oxygen for the soul. It gives light in dark times. The book builds to a crescendo and the final chapter alone is worthy of publication of itself.
This has been the best book on the subject of depression/anxiety/loneliness I have ever read! It is sound truth given by a great man of God who has been with his Lord over a hundred years now. Well, I'll be writing about it on my blog because there is just so much to say! :)
This book started out pretty well, but it became very redundant. It explores Charles Spurgeon's attitude toward depression and other emotional pain issues. The author seemed to have one formula for every different malady. Basically, she would describe Spurgeon's viewpoint through his sermons and other writings, but it seemed that she relied too heavily on quotes. I'm not sure how much of the book was actually her own insight. I get it. Spurgeon was a great man who had heavy emotional pain, but
