‘Gary Blackford has been a friend and fellow minister here in Coffs Harbour for a number of years. As a pastor for over 14 years I am seeing an incredible rise in the numbers of people struggling with their emotional and mental health. Gary has written an outstanding book on depression and mental illness. It is full of real life experiences that will give hope to all readers, particularly those struggling in these areas. It’s straightforward and easy to read, yet very powerful with practical examples to help readers biblically address some of their own issues. I highly recommend it to you.’
Shaun Foster, Pastor, Former C3 Church Coffs Harbour, NNSW Director C3 Church International. Currently: Victorian director for Compassion Australia.
Gary has an amazing story and unique style in preaching the gospel and encouraging others in their walk of faith with God. He has been an incredible blessing to our church in giving them practical steps in overcoming in life and discovering who it is God has created them to be. I can whole heartedly endorse Gary’s ministry and value he will bring to your church
