Midnight Mercies (Paperback) by Christine Chappell

Are you a mother who feels stuck in depression? You’re not the only Christian woman who knows what this darkness is like. When feelings of hopelessness, weariness, sadness, anger, anxiety, shame, and loneliness feel impossible to bear, it can seem like God is nowhere to be found. But there’s more to the story than you can presently perceive.

Biblical counselor Christine Chappell has walked these dark paths herself—and she wants to help you to see God’s heart for you more clearly as you endure sorrow and pain. As Christine recounts her own midnight journey through depression and explores stories of desperate sufferers who experienced God’s mercy in the Scriptures, she shows how God meets us in our despair and helps us toward his light—one step at a time.

Each chapter concludes with immediate help in the form of simple next steps, a Scripture verse for contemplation and comfort, and questions for journaling.

Biblical and relatable

Midnight mercies,though specifically addressing those experiencing motherhood depression,anyone going through any kind of hard times will find practical encouragement there in.Christine displays a gift of insight and great understanding of human emotional experiences through difficult times by using exact words to capture the experiences making the book so relatable. A scripture passage at the beginning of every chapter that married smoothly with the theme was something I kept looking forward to in my reading as she kept basing her encouragement and empathy on God's character of Mercy and love. This work will be a resource to those ministering to those experiencing ' midnight times' as well,she keeps reminding them that they are not alone,many are going through similar difficulties but most importantly that God is there,offering himself as a refuge for them.It encourages, empathize and help reset one's hope back to Christ whom she says is the object of our hope!
