The Bars That Once Condemned Me: A Testimony About the Spiritual Implications of Depression

The Bars That Once Condemned Me is a refreshingly honest glimpse into teenage depression and suicide. Written from the perspective of a teenager who has recently overcome the deepest part of her depression, this is a book that other teens will identify with. We all know about the physical and emotional aspects of depression, but what does our spiritual health have to do with it? When we focus purely on medical means to cure this disorder, are we completely ignoring an essential piece of the puzzle? Stephanie asks readers to look inside themselves and discover reasons for why they are feeling the way they are. She challenges readers to ask questions of themselves, of God, and of other people.
