The church's relationship with depression has been fraught: for centuries, depression was assumed to be evidence of personal sin or even demonic influence. The depressed have often been ostracized or institutionalized. In recent years the conversation has begun to change, and the stigma has lessened-but as anyone who suffers from depression knows, we still have a long way to go.
In Companions in the Darkness, Diana Gruver looks back into church history and finds depression in the lives of some of our most beloved saints, including Martin Luther, Charles Spurgeon, Mother Teresa, and Martin Luther King Jr. Without trying to diagnose these figures from a distance, Gruver tells their stories in fresh ways, taking from each a particular lesson that can encourage or guide those who suffer today. Drawing on her own experience with depression, Gruver offers a wealth of practical wisdom both for those in the darkness and those who care for them.
Not only can these saints teach us valuable lessons about the experience of depression, they can also be a source of hope and empathy for us today. They can be our companions in the darkness.

We can’t always control what happens to us. But we can discover how to heal the hidden hurt it leaves behind.
If you’re like many of us, you carry a weight of buried pain. Despite looking put together on the outside, you feel secretly fractured within. While you appear strong and resilient on the outside, inside a storm brews of all the ways you’ve been hurt or harmed. There’s a constant churn of unprocessed feelings of shame, anger, grief, or loneliness. And your body tells the story of its struggles in a myriad of aches and ailments. Little by little, you find yourself becoming disconnected from who you truly are. Not knowing what to do with your suffering and fearing you'll be hurt again, you’ve learned to cope, to numb and suppress the ache within.
It doesn’t have to be this way. In Healing What’s Within, therapist and professor Chuck DeGroat invites you on a compassionate journey inward to return and retune to the life God created you to live. Along the way, you will discover how to:
Gently consider and confront what’s keeping you stuck and blocking the path to joy and flourishingBetter understand the relationship between your body and your emotionsExperience God as a compassionate witness to your trauma—and his unconditional kindness to wherever you find yourselfDiscover real rest and renewal as you reconnect with God, others, and yourself.It’s never too late to start healing. God’s heart is always ready to help you find your way Home.

In a time that rewards personality and platform over integrity and character, author Chuck DeGroat invites us to return to the humble work of deep, lasting transformation.
We have more insights and resources for emotional and spiritual health than ever before, yet it takes one look at the headlines—and even our own lives—to see that true depth of character is still lacking. From the broken trust in the highest political, corporate, and ecclesial offices in the land to the broken places in our own hearts, we’re facing a profound unveiling. How can we ever really know who to count on? How do we make sense of it all? And in a day of quick comebacks and empty apologies, how does slow and lasting change take place?
It won’t be easy, but it will be sacred. Combining rich cultural analysis with pastoral and psychological wisdom, therapist and professor Chuck DeGroat invites us beyond techniques and tactics to offer a revolutionary, hopeful new guide for building the internal and external architecture for deep and sustaining character change.
In Who You’re Becoming, we’ll:
gently confront the ways we’ve traded character for charisma, formation for information, communion for control, discipleship for displaythink clearly and carefully about how Christlike character grows and matures—in our personal lives, parenting, church and spiritual formation processes, even educational spacesexplore new discoveries in psychology and neurobiology that reveal how character breaks down—and how it can be rebuiltengage ancient and contemporary processes and practices that cultivate strong friendships, grounded leaders, connected marriages, healthy systems, anchored identity, and creative workThe temptation to posture is strong, but the invitation of Christ is deeper still. It’s an invitation not to perform, but to become ourselves: rooted, ripened, and resilient in a fractured and fragmented world.

He knows firsthand the devastation narcissism leaves in its wake and how insidious and painful it is. In When Narcissism Comes to Church, DeGroat
takes a close look at narcissism, not only in ministry leaders but also in church systems;offers compassion and hope for those affected by its destructive power and;imparts wise counsel for churches looking to heal from its systemic effects.DeGroat also offers hope for narcissists themselves-not by any shortcut, but by the long, slow road of genuine recovery through repentance and trust in the gospel of Jesus.
