Arie Elshout (1923-1991) served as a minister for 32 years in the Gereformeerde Gemeenten of the Netherlands, and in its sister denomination, the Netherlands Reformed Congregations of North America.
"Arie Elshout's Overcoming Spiritual Depression is a treasure of
pastoral counsel. Reminiscent as it is of A. W. Pink's Elijah and
Martyn Lloyd-Jones's Spiritual Depression, Elshout employs the life
of Elijah to cover a variety of related themes. Always sensitive to
the complexities of the human spirit, this book manages to be
profoundly insightful, thoroughly biblical, and theologically
astute all at once. For Christians caught in Bunyan's Castle of
Giant Despair, this book is bound to provide a key that will aid in
the process of recovery. Thoroughly recommended." -Derek W.H.

"My father's assessment of Elijah's post-Carmel experience as being
characteristic of burn-out and spiritual depression is unique--and
yet, exegetically sound. In approaching Elijah's experience from
this perspective, he has done a real service to all who are called
to ministry in God's church. It will be a great encouragement to
know that Elijah was a man of like passions as we are, and that
Elijah's God, for Christ's sake, will continue to make His strength
perfect in our weakness." -Bartel Elshout
