Book Reviews of The Freedom from Depression Workbook (Minirth Meier New Life Clinic Series)
Book Review: Book Fails to Identify Itself as A Christian Therapy Book
Summary: 1 Stars
I was 69 pages into this book before it began to reveal itself as a Christian-Based therapy book and not a book based on reason and rational thought! It should clearly (honestly) state in the title or first chapter that it's a Christian book. Why keep it on the down-low if its a legitimate form of therapy? (Unless you are totally comfortable about hoodwinking people into your own personal agenda!) I feel like I was defrauded out of $16.00. Book Review: Buy this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a 20 yr old college student who has struggled with episodes of major depression. It became very debilitating and a couple months ago I asked my parents to take me to the emergency room because of the extreme amount of emotional pain I was in. There were many days where I had to fight just to get through the day. When I was in the worst stages, I had no understanding of what was causing me to feel so miserable and stop functioning well. I had the attitude that my life was great, my depression was all chemical, a result of my genetics. While I do believe my family history is a factor, I am realizing that my life isn't perfect and there are things that I want to change about myself and how I react to certain situations and people. With the help of therapy & effexor I started to improve but still struggled. I believe this book has helped me to get over that hump, to allow me to feel myself again. I am only on the second chapter, but of all the self-help books I read this has been the best so far. I knew before that I had to make changes to get out of and stay out of my depression, but I didnt know what to change or how to do it.This book has helped me to actively look at my life, identify the problems, and it gives solutions. If you or someone you care about has depression they will likely find this book helpful. Book Review: A Life Saver
Summary: 5 Stars
There aren't words enough to describe how thankful I am for having read this book. The power to once again control your own life can be found in these pages. I can't see how it would not be beneficial to anyone who reads it. Book Review: Add magnesium for success, please read this review
Summary: 4 Stars
While this book may help some people, an even better book is Dr. Carolyn Dean's book The Miracle of Magnesium. Here is a quote from Dr. Dean's book regarding magnesium in the treatment of depression: "With proper amounts of magnesium, nature makes sufficient serotonin and you experience emotional balance. But when stress depletes magnesium, a vicious cycle spins out of control and depression can occur. The body needs magnesium in order to release and bind adequate amounts of serotonin in the brain. The pharmaceutical industry has focused its research for the treatment of depression on serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Prozac to capitalize on serotonin's chemical effects instead of giving serotonin what it really needs -- magnesium...Magnesium deficiency is a potential cause for every type of depression. All treatment protocols should begin with adequate doses of this valuable mineral." If you are suffering from depression, I beg you to acquire and read Dr. Dean's book and take supplemental magnesium daily as Dr. Dean recommends. You may find that this important nutrient is the solution you have been seeking.Book Review: FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIAN BASED THERAPY
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is written from a Christian perspective. God, church, and fundamental Christian values are an integral part of the therapeutic method. If such an approach is not appropriate for you, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK.
