ABOUT THE BOOK

Anxiety, Depression, and Jesus

Finding Hope in All Things

“I would’ve taken my life by now if I didn’t have a dog to take care of. Even though I’m not a Christian, I know you’re a pastor, and I thought, if anyone would know what to say to me right now, it might be you.”

When I saw my uncle Dennis was calling, I almost didn’t answer out of fear I would wake up our newborn. My wife and I were sleep deprived, and I was taking the first shift that night, holding my son’s pacifier and watching Seinfeld on minimal volume. Since I had moved away from my hometown fifteen years prior, my uncle and I didn’t talk very often because of the distance. So his call surprised me.
