Out of the Depths I Cry By P. Diane Buie

Reviewed by Sandra L. Snyder and Craig Ruhl

In her book, Out of the Depths I Cry, Diane Buie writes about an illness that no one wants to have, but many people suffer from all over the world. She describes her life-long journey with disabling depression. Her poetry, written throughout her lifetime, is woven with Bible passages that have strengthened and encouraged her through her tough times. Out of the Depths I Cry is more than a biography or testimony; it is an important resource for anyone who is struggling with mental illness. In the chapters of the book, the author asks probing questions and provides space for the reader to journal or record their thoughts. Diane teaches her readers who have a mental illness, as she does, to be creative, using music, art, nature, pets, and many other things to bring pleasure while striving to overcome a debilitating chronic illness.

Diane has a master’s degree in Divinity and a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education & Child/Family Studies. She resides in Greer, SC near her parents and adult siblings. When she is not writing or reading, you can find her being crafty, gardening, and hanging out with friends and family. Her blog is at https://buierocks2002.com/
