What do ministers do when they get depressed? Do they just work
because "the show must go on"? Some ministers may, but C. Welton
Gaddy did not. In this intensely personal book, described by Wayne
E. Oates as "frank, considerate, and attention keeping," the author
tells the story of how he "stopped the show," entered a
well-organized, modern psychiatric unit, and received psychiatric
care. He also tells of his discovery in the hospital of a more
honest community than he had ever known in the church. Gaddy
describes his experiences as a pastoral minister who went from good
to bad health (including a deep depression) and back to even better
health. In a sometimes painfully confessional but always soundly
theological narrative, the author takes a realistic look at those
aspects of ministry that can be destructive.
