Spurgeon’s Sorrows by Zack Eswine is a Christian
non-fiction book on the topic of depression from the perspective of the life of Charles Spurgeon.
I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars. This book wasn’t quite what I was expecting it to be. I
thought it was a biography of Charles Spurgeon with a focus on his struggle with
depression. When actually it is a faith based look at the topic of depression
in general with Charles Spurgeon being a primary source pulled on through his
teachings and experiences. Even though this was different from my expectations,
I really loved it.
I not only appreciated the content as a person who has
suffered with depression myself, but for the fact that Eswine addresses each
portion to both sufferers and caregivers. It is relatable and filled with
helpful information and applicable tools. This is such a helpful and
encouraging read that I believe would be beneficial for all Christians who
struggle with depression and/ or are in a position of counsel for someone with
depression to read.
