Description: Hi.
My new book on teen depression has just been published
by Cascade Books, an imprint of Wipf and Stock
publishers (a traditional, not self, publisher). It's
called, "A Relentless Hope: Surviving the Storm of
Teen Depression."The book is being
reviewed by professional publications and
websites. Here's an excerpt from a review that just
came out in the August edition of "Counseling Today,"
the professional magazine for the American Counseling
Association:
"...this little book demonstrates the power of it's
title, A Relentless Hope...For therapists, this book
offers much to consider...For teens, those with or
without a diagnosis of depression, this book radiates
acceptance, empathy, and hope... A unique and valuable
feature is the chapter on spirituality...Nelson is
master of the prosaic metaphor...Throughout the book,
analogies and comparisons...and a host of other
everyday, often light-hearted images illustrate
Nelson's conversational, common-sense approach to the
complex topic of teenage depression...The book is a
work of love about the power of love. And that, in
itself, is healing."
RUTH HARPER, Professor of Counseling & Human
Resource Development,
South Dakota State University
Here's an excerpt from a review that appears in the
current edition of "Journeys," the professional
magazine of the American Association of Pastoral
Counselors:
"Gary Nelson’s conversational style wraps a deep
understanding of depression and its treatment in a
gripping first-person story of love casting out fear.
All parents, and all who seek to help parents, would
benefit from this book."
DOUG THORPE, Pastoral Counselor with Center for
Pastoral Counseling of Virginia
Here's an excerpt from a review by a retired United
Methodist military chaplain. This review will appear
in an upcoming newsletter from the UMC General Board's
Endorsing Agency:
"I highly recommend this book and the insights it
sheds
on an illness that impacts so many of our young people
and their families. Both spiritually and clinically
sound, A Relentless Hope offers a light to those that
struggle with the storms and illnesses of today. It
also provides much needed information for those
suffering from depression, anxiety and its related
mental health issues. It is timely and relevant to our
society and our church."
CHAPLAIN DAVID MCLEAN, United States Army
(Retired)United Methodist Endorsing Agency
