Overview

"I need help."

Those three words saved Grammy Award-winning singer Michelle Williams's life. After decades of sweeping her anxiety and depression under the rug--even during her years in the spotlight with Destiny's Child--Michelle found herself planning her own funeral. Realizing that she needed immediate help and could no longer battle her anxiety and depression alone, she checked herself into a treatment facility. When she came home, she was energized and determined to check in on a regular basis with herself, God, and others.

*Practical, engaging, and full of wisdom,*Checking In*will give you the tools you need to:

  • Tear down the walls around your vulnerability that are hindering your healing
  • Reject the lies of anxiety and depression and replace them with the truth of God's Word
  • Trade toxic thought patterns for lasting joy
  • Find freedom by forgiving yourself and others

An uplifting, behind-the-scenes look at one woman's path to healing,*Checking In*reminds you that you're not alone and that God is not yet finished writing your story.

Praise for*Checking In:

"Michelle Williams is one of the bravest, strongest women I know. She has fought through very public struggles and dark, hidden days of depression. And now, in*Checking In, she's putting it all out there for everyone to see. Her story is powerful and relatable, and she wants you to know that you are not alone. Healing is possible. And she's here to walk through it with you."

Grammy-winning singer and actor Williams debuts with a revealing account of the depression she felt despite finding success and fame as a member of the R&B group Destiny’s Child. After Destiny’s Child disbanded in 2006, Williams continued to perform in theater productions and make albums, but she writes of feeling lost and withdrawn, and of distancing herself from God because she was afraid of disappointing him. In 2018, Williams’s depression became an overwhelming “sea of darkness,” and she began planning her own funeral. Realizing she needed help, she checked into a hospital, where she discovered the tools that would equip her to fulfill God’s plan. Now a mental health advocate, she emphasizes the need to “check in” daily with God, oneself, and loved ones. While little practical advice is given, Williams encourages those suffering to “replace the lies with truth” by “trusting in the character of God.” Christians struggling with depression will relate to and find comfort in Williams’s vulnerable reflections.
