The author, Dietmar Scherf, skillfully crafted a much needed book for our time. It's estimated that over 40 million people in the U.S. alone suffer from some form of depression.

It's a vital book that deals with the subject head on like an understanding friend, without condeming or judging the reader. Much love has been put into this work and every reader will come away encouraged and inspired with new energy for life. The positive underlying tone of this book is found throughout all chapters and brings healing to the soul. After reading the book it seems like that the reader got to know the author personally like a good old friend. He identifies with depression victims since he himself has suffered from depression for well over a decade. The author also identifies with loved ones of depression victims to encourage them to help depression victims effectively. While there are several good books in print on this topic, in our research we couldn't find one book that effectively dealt with the subject of depression like this one. In this book you won't find the usual psycho-babble, but instead you'll find practical information and guidance, which is immediately useful. The side of the spiritual approach regarding this book is also kind but precise. It defines the issues carefully and right to the point building in the reader a spiritual capacity. This aspect is often left out, but is so very important when dealing with a subject like depression. Instead of just plain knowledge in this book practical wisdom can be found. This book is certainly a rare find and is a true treasure of our time.

About the author

Born into a poverty-stricken family in June of 1961, Dietmar Scherf grew up in Graz, Austria. His parents were hard-working folks and it took them a few years to leave their moist two-room living quarters in a basement behind. Finally, they moved into a small, but new and clean apartment during the mid-sixties. Plagued with depression and seeds of suicide he barely survived his teenage years in his working-class environment. In 1976, he began studying human behavior. His interest in business required the study of sales and marketing psychology to discover and understand the laws of cause and effect, and the herd mentality. In search for adventure, he left Austria at the age of eighteen and traveled the United States and Europe for almost two years. The early eighties were once again a time of various studies. While business and psychology were always of great interest to Dietmar Scherf, a new vital addition of extensive studies began for him in late 1980 -- Christianity. Having been rased a Roman Catholic, he also studied various religions in the late seventies. And in 1980, he became a born-again Christian which changed his life forever. His studies in the Word of God began to intensify in 1982, and after a few years he was completely healed from depression. Revived with a new outlook for life he married in the spring of 1987. Applying spiritual principles and godly wisdom by the Grace of God, he enjoyed the outpouring of tremendous blessings and Dietmar Scherf became a celebrity in his native country of Austria by 1989. Even though not forgotten, but gone were the suicidal depressive moods from a decade earlier. A great physical healing also took place in Dietmar's life in 1985. Having evolved to be a renowned sales and marketing psychologist and being a guest speaker at universities and special events in Austria, in the early nineties, Dietmar Scherf became more and more in demand by companies and individuals in the U.S. and Europe as a valuable consultant. In 1990, Dietmar Scherf made the United States his new home and appeared frequently as a featured guest speaker at various business and company meetings, in schools, on talk-radio, and at churches. In 1996, Dietmar Scherf moved his family from Bel Air, Maryland to fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, where his foremost concentration is now on writing as he is currently working on several unique, inspiring and very exciting novels. Since 1983, a combined total of over a hundred articles, research reports and booklets by Dietmar Scherf on various subjects have been published.

There is no doubt about the fact that depression is truly a killer in the literal sense of the word. Depression is not a respecter of persons. It attacks every age group from teenagers to the elderly, and it surfaces in every social class from the poor to the super rich. Depresssion attacks men and women alike. Because of an environment where depression is prevalent. It's a vicious and deceitful spirit creeping in through all kinds of avenues trying to destroy mankind. Life is made up of choices. To temporarily satisfy our search for unanswered questions, which often is the ground for internal conflict, we accpet certain superficial answers and images as temporary solutions. But these answers are only temporary, superficial and are in fact pseudo-answers without any substance and are lacking the foundation of objective truth. One definition for depression can be understood as being unable to geth what you want within a desired time frame. Your desires mayb be derived from images that you have perceived at one point in your life and which are replayed over and over again in your mind. To further define depression it is accpeting lies and negativity from vague mind projections as being reality, when in fact these projections are not true at all, but are only vain imaginations and projections without substance and truth. Depression is in fact a supernatural phenomena and therefore it doesn't make much sense trying to treat depression with a natural approach. Negative experiences in the past can really destroy us, if we consistently focus our attention on them and dwell on them month after month. Love yourself just the way you are. It's a fact that we are not perfect. Actually, we don't need to be perfect. We are not required to be perfect human beings. In our hectic world, relaxation is truly a lost art. Whatever our choice may be, time is a valuable treasure entrusted to each one of us and some day we'll be held accountable for our stewardship regarding this treasure. Infidelity is a very hurtful type of betrayal. Marriage is based on trust. When this trust has been violated, then insecurity, bitterness and depression may find an open door. Marriage is a commtiment for a lifetime. Sex in the marital union is truly a phenomenal experience. It is regenerating and this intimacy will build a very strong bond between husband and wife. It's the highest form of physical unity that can be experienced by human beings on earth. Objective truth is the complete guide and key to understanding and solving all problems that exist. But what is objective truth and where can we find it? Because each person has a free will, objective truth will never force itself upon an individual. Objective truth will only present itself gently and suggest that it is a good thing for a human being to accept objective truth as a counselor, a wise friend and a companion.Objective truth produces certain characteristics in our life and these things are extremely important for each person. When we come to the pure source of objective truth we should come there without religious prejudice, and without preconceived ideas. Imagine becoming more than conquerors independent and apart from outward circumstances and possessions. No matter what happens, there can be tremendous peace in your sould and nothing can upset you anymore. A sound mind stabilizes the emotions and the nervous system. When you go to a doctor the doctor doesn't expect you to heal yourself. You're going to the doctor just as sick as you are, because you expect him to heal you. The remedy for clear thinking to avoid depression and to experience a victorious life is clearly laid out in the Scriptures. If we look on our problems and if we try to fix the problems it's not going to work on a permanent basis. We'll be preoccupied with our problems instead of objective truth. As we have also read before, the Word of God will bring comfort to our soul and relax the atmosphere. Then God will take care of the situation and may very wll involve you in the solution so that you can experience on site, so to speak, the blessings that come from His actions and are prepared for you. True freedom brings relief and rest to our soul. Depression has no part in a truly victorious life. This type of victory is final with permanent results. If we accept this eternal fact, we'll be able to experience this victory in our emotions already here on earth. Based on eternal truth we're absolutely invincible. Every breath we take is a supernatural experience. The supernatural world, while most of the time invisible, is just as real as the natural world. And it's the dark supernatural forces that intensify and even cause depression trying to destroy us. On the other hand, God provides supernatural deliverance and victory from these supernatural bondages, slavery and effects. We all desire to prosper in one way or the other. Some are searching for eternal youth and perfect health, others reach for the stars to obtain tremendous wealth and fame, or perhaps significance in the community or in the corporate hierarchy, and again others wish for prosperous relationships. What do you desire in life? You'll be astonished when I show you in this chapter that we can have it all and it's within our reach and available for virtually everybody. Life is a blessing. Seeking and wishing for blessings and prosperity isn't wrong, instead it is absolutely appropriate to do so. A self-made prosperity will always have limitations and leave us exhausted and therefore genuine happiness and fulfillment in life won't be found. Regarding certain issues, we have to make certain decisions in order to experience the consequences and benefits of right choices. Sometimes we just have to let go of things in order to receive something much better. Every thought counts and every word we speak can have an eternal effect. Life is great. Life is beautiful. There is no place for depression.
