There is a time for grief, but there is also a time to stop grieving. Even godly men can become overwhelmed by sorrow. In 1 Samuel 16:1, the Lord rebuked Samuel: “How long will you grieve…?” God’s question was not unkind, but it was a call to move forward in faith. Grief is not a destination—it’s a season. This booklet, Grief: Victory Over a Lonely Darkness, offers comfort, clarity, and biblical counsel to help you walk through grief and come out on the other side with renewed hope.
God’s Word does not dismiss your tears. In fact, it honors them. Scripture reminds us that even Jesus, the sinless Son of God, wept (John 11:35). That moment—so brief, yet so profound—tells us everything we need to know about His compassion. He is our fellow-sufferer. When we go to Him in our grief, we do not find a distant God, but one who understands. Isaiah 53:3 calls Him “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” He does not just comfort the grieving—He joins them.
You weep, my brother. You weep, my sister. And you do so in good company, for your Savior wept. This world is filled with heartache, loss, and tragedy. Is there anyone who has not known sorrow? Yet the wonder and amazement is this: it can be said of the holy, righteous Son of God—“He wept.”
This booklet, “Grief: Victory Over a Lonely Darkness,” will help guide you toward healing. You’ll discover practical biblical steps that lead out of mourning and into a life that glorifies God. There is victory beyond grief. There is light after the darkness. Come find hope in the arms of the One who weeps with you—Jesus Christ.

“Exposing the useful lie..”
If you are a Christian, and especially a pastor…this is a must read. Pastors have been led to believe that they can’t help people with the everyday problems of life; they need to be sent to the “professionals.” But are the “professionals” really helping people all that much, or is the whole idea of “mental illness” just a useful lie? This book sets the record straight. Dr. Tyler is a godly man who has been helping people with problems for years and he desires to set the record straight when it comes to psychology vs. true biblical counseling. Check out Tyler’s book…the Word of God truly is sufficient!
“Excellent book”
As a psychologist AND Christian, I was troubled by trying to see mental illness and psychotic behavior from both a psychology and Christian perspective.
Many Christians think all mental illness (depression, anxiety, psychotic behavior, etc) is spiritual attacks from the devil or demons. There is the story about Jesus casting evil spirits out of a man who was cutting himself and the evil spirits were cast into swine/pigs.
However, there are so many Christians who are suffering with depression, anxiety, psychosis etc who aren’t being treated because they refuse to see the psychology component to these illnesses.
Reading this book helped me formulate a better perspective on this topic. A must have for any therapist who is Christian. Good to read books from both arguments then develop your own conclusion.
“Hard to swallow… but true”
I thought this book was so great. When I first started to read it I was pretty offended but I came to realize I was so upset because it was true. This book causes you to look at yourself in a new perspective. I would not recommend reading this until you are ready to be brutally honest with yourself. This book has impacted my life.
“Five Stars”
A must read for all sincere Christians
“Best book ever!”
This book is the best book i have ever read on understanding why people are falling away from Jesus Christ; it is because sin has become labeled as disease, relieving any sense of accountability to God. Who needs a savior then. BUY THE BOOK!!! It is worth every penny!
“The truth is here”
This book exposes the deception of modern psychoanalysis and the practice of medicating the symptoms with no hope of cure for the underlying cause. The authors are imminently qualified to make these assertions and do so in a very understandable and readable style. Hopefully people who believe they are suffering from mental illness will find out there are alternatives that actually alleviate the cause while helping with the symptoms.
“Truth – even against the tide”
A thought-provoking book for anyone who sees PSYCHO methods as their only help for their mental problems. The book shows – from a Christian perspective – the actual roots of mental problems. It shows how incorrect responses to life problems become incorrect attitudes and concepts of thought, which are then classified and treated as “mental illnesses.” The dilemma here is that this declares a person a “victim” of an illness who is not responsible for this condition. People then become and remain addicted to psychotropic drugs and an endless series of therapy sessions. Although these methods can limit the effects of the problem (as a good cough syrup also reduces the effects of bronchitis), they cannot eliminate its causes inside a person.
Even though this book is in some ways contrary to the current mainstream, it can be a valuable help for anyone who is seriously looking for a solution to their pschic problems to find their way out of the “vicious circle” of expensive psychotropic drugs and therapies.
