Stress in our lives is inevitable. We have stress of family, work, children, friends, financial, marriage - you name it, we stress about it. Dr. Haymon's book shows us how to cope with stress. He brings biblical principles and biblical characters out in order to show us how they coped with stress. He uses the life of Paul to bring out how Paul learned to rely on God and His teachings. He learned to be content with whatever God gave him.
Sometimes we feel that God may not be listening to us in times of stress or bad things. But God is there. We need to learn how to cope and rely on God. He will take care of us when it is His time and for our good.
One thing he writes is, "Stress is the perception of what is happening rather than what's actually going on." Sometimes in our lives, we feel that everything is out of control. It is during this time that we need to remember that God is always in control. Just because it feels like we are not control - God is. He knows what we need and what we can do.
This book has helped me to learn about boundaries. We must set some in order to help with our stress levels. We must take the time to pray and trust God instead of adding more things into our lives which can add more stress.

"Stress Overcoming Real Life Issues with God" is a good book dealing with the every day stresses that we all face. God has created and equipped each of us with what we need to fulfill what He desires from/for us. It is so important that we focus on Our relationship with God rather than focusing on our emotions. God is never changing. Our emotions are always up and down, changing at any given moment.
Steven Haymon has done a good job helping me see how important it is for me to set boundaries in my job and family. He reminds me that my relationship with God must be my priority! My strength comes from God alone, and in order to maintain that strength, I need to be healthy emotionally, spiritually and mentally.
Haymon uses a lot of scripture in this book. He often quotes about the life of Apostle Paul and how, even while he was in pain and agony, he trusted in the Lord to help him. We must also trust in the Lord! We can overcome the daily stresses of life IF we have a close walk with God and allow Him to be our strength. How do we do that? Reading Haymon's book will give you a good start...

The message this book imparts is so full, one I hope many will take the time to discover. The need for a personal relationship with God and living up to the potential He has given each of us to fulfill the purpose He has for us is an invaluable tool to overcoming anything thrown in our path, be it something God intends for us to learn from or a stumbling block the enemy intends to use to deter us. It is evident in this book that Dr. Haymon has a heart for God and is concerned for the world at large. I enjoyed Dr. Haymon's use of scripture to illustrate the stress present in the lives of many Biblical characters as well as the analogies he uses to illustrate how stress is affecting people in everyday life.

My Review:
The stress of daily life could truly make you sick, not just with something minor such as a cold but something more advanced that could lead to say a heart attack or much, much worse. Dr. Steven Haymon, has written
a very inspiring book on how we can overcome stress that could lead to a debilitating illness by relying on God and his teachings fully and completely.

Everyone has some sort of stress. We can’t get away from it. The difference we have is how we handle stress. Sometimes stress can manifest as an illness, we can lose our hair, we can have a mental break down or we can just simply give up. Dr. Haymon defines stress and provides ways to combat stress without losing yourself. Dr. Haymon shares the Word of God and discusses how the Word can help you put everything into perspective. This is definitely something I should have read years ago but since it was published in 2013…I read it right on time. Now that I have tools and scriptures I know that I can handle any stress that comes my way. I plan to give this as gifts to all of my friends in the coming months.

The stressors of daily life can be overwhelming. They can lead to all types of illness. Dr. Steven Hayman's book shows how if we focus on our Lord instead of our stress, life becomes much easier. We can fight the stress of the world by putting our trust in the Lord. The book use scripture to illustrate how to do this. Dr Hayman uses the Apostle Paul and his life as an example throughout the book of this trust. I found the book relevant in today's world where you need a means to cope or the stressors in life will bog you down. The book is informative, and interesting.

Stress!!
How many of us find ourselves surrounded by stressful real life everyday issues in this age that we live in. In an uncertain world. Do we realize that stress can affect us spiritually, physically and emotionally?
Dr Haymon's book gives us the information and scripture verses that we need to fight against stress in our daily lives. His book is inspiring and I like that he included a scripture index.
This book will help us to focus on God, who is in control. To trust Him and be prayerful. I think it would be a great tool for a church study group.
I really liked this book.

Christians have stress - often made worse because they think they shouldn't have any. Haymon looks at biblical characters, what caused them stress and the tools they used to overcome it. This is not your typical book on stress, making better priority lists etc. This is a book about trusting God and seeing your circumstances from His viewpoint.
