lost and found in depression

Book Cover & Preview Text
Do you know what I love in my world?
Besides you and the kids, of course
Besides our family and friends, of course
I love me; I amaze
myself, and I like who I am
It is not a conceited picture to paint
Or an enlarged ego that provides warmth by the fire
It is a simple realization that I am at peace
I am getting better all it all the time
I am trying to stay optimistically sound
I am actually allowing sanity to sneak in my back door
Innocent as it is – for peace of the soul
Gratifying as it is – to feel the greatness He has done

About the Book
Have you ever suffered from depression? Do you know someone who has? Are you or they traveling the unwanted journey right now?
Author Jack P. Marschall gets personal in Shades of Gray. He shares his poetic prose written during his own desperate battle with a disease that cripples and scars if allowed to go untreated. “I never thought I’d get my life back,” says Jack. “I never thought I’d ever be me again.”
What you hold in your hand is what Jack refers to as depression expressions – examples of his innermost thoughts and mindset during the darkest and most frightening period in his life.
Shades of Gray offers something for everyone. It is not only for those of you who have wrestled with depression or witnessed a friend or loved one who fought a good fight that came on with inexplicable power and demonic force, but it is also for survivors of our world who have coped with common maladies of the human condition. The book is a slice of life – the good, the bad and the ugly.
Jack’s journey is a reality check for us all. But it is also more positive than negative; it is more hopeful than hopeless. We all fight demons of one kind or another. This is an invitation to go along as a witness. It is a journey that made Jack stronger as a result; it is one that neither he nor his family will ever forget.
