Description: Depression is not
unique to our times. To encourage the depressed, Bridge wrote this choice
book and filled it with the kind of rich encouragement which our
generation too rarely hears. These thirteen sermons on Psalm 42:11,
preached at Stepney, London, in the year 1648 are the work of a true
physician of souls. In dealing with believers suffering form spiritual
depression, Bridge manifests great insight into the causes of the saints’
discouragements such as great sins, weak grace, failure in duties, want of
assurance, temptation, desertion and affliction. A correct diagnosis is
more than half the cure but Bridge does not leave his readers there. He
gives directions for applying the remedy. For example in dealing with
“great sins” he says, “If you would be truly humbled and not be
discouraged; not be discouraged and yet be humbled; then beat and drive up
all your sin to your unbelief, and lay the stress and weight of all your
sorrow upon that sin.” The general causes of spiritual depression are the
same in every age. Down cast Christians of the twentieth century can find
help here as surely as did past generations
