He also draws on scripture, which can be particularly helpful to those who are religious and can find some relief and echo in the groaning and lamenting that scripture gives voice to.</p>--Publishers Weekly, May 21, 2012<br><br><p>Winter's excellent book deals comprehensively with a topic affecting many people: He treats in a balanced way the role of nature and nurture, and explains differences between sadness, grief, and depression.</p>--Susan Olasky, World Magazine, January 26, 2013<br>
