Resources on Dealing with Depression

Sermon Sunday sought to answer this question, “How should we respond when Christians deal with depression, self-harm, and even suicidal thoughts and actions?”  As with the other sermons in this series, we know that there are people struggling with the issue, so we are posting resources on the topic for further reading or listening.  Here are some good resources on depression.
