Description

Mark Meynell invites you into his personal struggle with depression, sharing the raw honesty and gritty reality that can be both devastating and transformative. This deeply personal exploration draws on significant moments from his life, including experiences in boarding school, Uganda, Berlin, and London. Through his reflections, Mark confronts the fear of shame and exposure that can accompany mental illness, and finds hope in the possibility that our brokenness can contribute to another person's healing. With vulnerability and courage, he shares his journey towards integration and wholeness. This book is not a neat conclusion or a fair-weather faith, but rather an honest portrayal of the darkness and light that coexist within us all.
