Editorial Reviews

How I wish I'd had Navigating the Blues when I was in the grip of depression. Katara Patton has been there. And she has grappled with the well-meaning but mistaken counsel of fellow believers who were certain that if her faith were strong enough, she would prevail. Full of faith, compassion, understanding and deep wisdom, these devotions offer comfort, insight and practical, simple tools to help us move toward wholeness, step by step.

Navigating the Blues provides space for God's children to be vulnerable without shame or fear as they find comfort for their pain knowing that God hears the cries of His children and will rescue us amid our storms. This book will not only invite you to face those things you have intentionally avoided because of public judgment or self-guilt but it will also invite you to trust the journey as you begin to heal and experience God's gift of abundant life.

How do we navigate the blues internally and the blues we face externally in our nation? Ms. Patton answers the question with spiritual depth, biblical wisdom, and theological insight. We all as human beings made in God's image will face the blues; the question for people of faith will always be, can we find the gospel chords among life's blue notes? This book gives us a road map to handling the blue notes and reclaiming our gospel shout!

[This] is a welcome resource for Christians who experience depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges during difficult times. Patton . . . offers encouragement to face the blues with self-compassion, honesty, and faith. The devotional offers practical and relatable strategies that support healing. Patton shares wisdom from her own lived experiences with depression and employs prayer, affirmation, and action to steer readers through common, but isolating occurrences of depression.
