Spurgeon's Sorrows Review

 

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.
