Classic sermons on a timeless topic: spiritual depression In these remarkable sermons, originally delivered at Westminster Chapel in London in the first half of the twentieth century, renowned preacher D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explores an enduring phenomenon: spiritual depression. Writing with pastoral care and compassion, Lloyd-Jones seeks to understand why contemporary Christians 'too often give the appearance of unhappiness and lack of freedom and absence of joy.' He identifies joy as an important characteristic of the early Christian church. At the same time that he identifies key factors that contribute to spiritual depression in the modern era, he also illuminates how spiritual vitality resides in the mind and spirit of Christ. Readers will come away with a deeper appreciation for how Christians in earlier generations have grappled with this enduring topic.
