The Life Cycle
by Denise Mistich
(Mt. Juliet, Tennessee)
Depression impacts nearly 20 million American adults not to mention teenagers and children. It is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States. The US is considered a Christian nation, yet so sad and so depressed. Something is terribly wrong.
The new book, The Life Cycle, examines this debilitating disease from a Biblical perspective. The author, Denise Mistich, is not a doctor or a minister. She is a recovered victim of the disease, who literally traded 14 mind altering pills a day for God's word and now lives a happy, productive life.
This healing process began when God literally called Mistich up from the floor with the profound words, "Get Up". She responded and the journey He has taken her on since that day brought her the strength first to endure, then the state of well being she now resides in. The healing did not come easily. There was work to be done. God took this particular "patient" all the way to Africa to teach her the truth about Him. After such a remarkable journey, both literally and figuratively, she now proclaims "A relationship with God is mind altering enough, without pills."
Mistich takes a look at the Biblical causes for depression in both, the believer and non-believer's lives, then outlines the steps and scriptures that led her to a state of well being.
The methodology behind this study guide is truth; about God and self. It is not about self-help, it is about letting Him help you. Mistich offers little fluff in this guide, but shares her personal testimony about the changes that God brought into her life and how he helped her up and out.
She recommends first and foremost that you get your answers directly from the Bible and through prayer. The Life Cycle is only a guide.
Denise Shares Her Personal Experience In the Life Cycle:
I was at the end of my rope and could not tie a knot.
I cried all the time! Then, one day:
A Message from God:
That's enough. Get up. Come on, Get up. Why are you crying?
Get up. That's enough. Don't you know there are people out there who love you? What about your brothers? They love you dearly. What about your father? He loves you too.
No, I'm not talking about your earthly father. He will not always be there for you. Where will you be when he dies?
I'm talking about your heavenly father. He has something better for you. Now get up, wipe your tears. You've punished yourself enough.

The Life Cycle is not only for those who are depressed. It is for those who simply can't find their way; those you might consider "fallen". It is also for new Christians, looking for a closer walk.
