Freedom From Depression
Finding Grace Through Spiritual Darkness
by James Safrit
Freedom From Depression is a gospel-centered, counseling-focused guide for believers carrying the weight of depression — written with biblical clarity and real hope instead of platitudes.
Drawing on Scripture and pastoral experience, James walks through the layers that so often sit underneath spiritual discouragement: emotional strain, physical factors, wounded thinking, and the weight of a troubled conscience. He helps you tell the difference between condemnation and conviction, between regret and true repentance, between despair and genuine gospel hope.
It's written both for the person in the dark season and for the people trying to help them — moving chapter by chapter from confusion toward clarity, from heaviness toward healing, and from bondage toward the restoring grace of God.

From Brokenness to Freedom
A Journey of Healing and Renewal
by James Safrit & Jon Hollifield
In From Brokenness to Freedom, James Safrit maps the road out of Independent Fundamental Baptist legalism — from the first cracks of disillusionment to the freedom of walking in God's grace.
Rather than treating recovery as a vague, one-size-fits-all kind of healing, the book walks through eight clear stages of the journey — disillusionment, questioning, leaving, grieving, education, frustration, the fork in the road, and helping others — so you can name exactly where you are and take the next step with purpose.
Each stage brings practical steps, honest reflection questions, and biblical guidance: deeply personal, firmly rooted in faith, and written for anyone from those just starting to ask hard questions to those reaching back to help someone else find the way out.
