Why read it?
1 author picked Laughing in the Dark as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Depression can sneak up on anyone, even a Christian comedian such as Chonda Pierce. Her busy schedule and constant pressure to make others laugh ran her own tank empty. Where did she turn? To God, of course. But she found that God often works through friends, family, and yes, even psychologists to haul people back onto their feet. With faith, hope, and humor, she exposes depression from the inside out and leads people from the dark into the light of Jesus. Though Iâve never experienced depression, I feel better armed should I ever meet this foe.
From Tracy's list on faith and hope during illness.
