You can find beauty in life, even when your world is painted in bleak shades of brown.
Let’s face it, no one wants to be depressed. So if we’re prone to this disquieting malady, we try to hide it, to fake the smile that isn’t really there-especially if we’re Christians. Author Paul Asay knows all about that. He knows the ins and outs of depression from personal experience, and he wants to help you work your way out.

But don’t worry, this isn’t some simplistic how-to book, promising rainbows and unicorns in three easy steps. Paul knows "fixing" depression isn’t that easy. He gets the complexity of the darkness-but he also knows you can’t stay there. And he can’t stay there, either. In Beauty in the Browns, he’ll share what he’s learned about how to live with hope, with Christ-and not let the darkness win.

This book will make you laugh (really!), and it will make you cry in that good way when something touches you deep inside. Most of all, it will give you the hope and the certainty that you can go on, you can find life again-with the Lord by your side.

Depression is a lens through which everything looks ugly and hopeless. But in this honest, raw account of his depression, Paul Asay reminds us that no matter how much depression distorts and discolors the world, God provides hope and beauty. -Jim Daly, President, Focus on the Family Saber más
