The Out of the Depths series addresses common pastoral crises in a faithful, encouraging, and factual manner that provides support to parishioners in crisis beyond the initial pastoral conversation. These inexpensive 64-page booklets can be given out to parishioners when they bring their recent diagnosis, crisis, or trauma to the pastor as a way to continue to provide care throughout the difficult season. Each booklet begins with a thoughtful consideration of the topic at hand, which is followed up by 30 brief devotions. These devotions are designed to be manageable in an overwhelming time, encouraging, and honest. This
Depression and Anxiety edition is authored by Jim Hightower and features insightful devotions by Matt Kelley. The
Out of the Depths booklets are essential care resources to be given out by pastors, Stephen Ministers, and congregational care teams.
