• Prolific, popular author of more than 20 books, including My Church Is Not Dying: Episcopalians in the 21st Century
Originally published by NavPress in 2006, this book captures the author’s efforts to find his way out of a spiral of depression — a tortuous path through mental anguish and suicide attempt(s) into the grace that brought him spiritual rebirth, sanity and a life of service to others.
Newly revised and with updated notes from the author, Crossing Myself will speak to those who have come through depression and those who still struggle with it. It can be appreciated by men and women, adults or teens for its literary style and personal insights of redemptive faith.
“So this edition is, at once, closer to my original text, and subtly changed from it. I’ve rewritten the book for style and clarity. I am a better writer in 2015 than I was in 2005, and I just couldn’t let some sentences lie there as they were when I could make them into something truer and more beautiful.” Greg Garrett
