The Pastor With a Thorn in his Side by Stephen Kneale

Depression is increasingly common.

This is no less true for those in ministry.

Many suffer with depression but for various reasons feel unable to tell their churches about it. Similarly, church members often see the problem, or struggle themselves, but don't know

what to do or how to help.

This collection of real-life stories from pastors who have suffered from depression exists to encourage others in similar positions and to help church members better support their pastor . when depression strikes.
