We spend time in the Low because we're human, not because we're broken. In the Low is a collection of contemplative words and images for seasons of depression.It is a book designed to meet you where you are and sit with you there the way God does: intentionally and without judgment. For many of us, the question isn't whether or not we will enter into depression but how to be there when we do.In those low places, we experience disconnection from others, from a meaningful life, and from God, and it can be difficult to know what to think or pray.This is where art and the honest prayers of others can help us name what we're experiencing so we know we're not alone.In the Low is designed to meet you in the dark and linger there with you as you sit under the weight of depression or despair.Instead of shaming you for how you feel, minimizing your pain, or suggesting quick fixes, Justin McRoberts and Scott Erickson offer you prayers in language and imagery that can help you be honest and vulnerable with yourself and with God.Featuring poetic prayers for deeper relationships, healing from trauma, a hopeful future, and more, In the Low meets you where you are in your journey and calls you deeper into the heart of God--who is not afraid of the dark.
