About the author

At age 36, Bob George came to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Two years later he left his successful business to become involved in full time ministry. With the emphasis on "full-time," Bob began to experience the heartache of losing his first love, Jesus Christ. His resulting search for truth led Bob to the love and acceptance of God that was there all along.

Years of ministry, in both personal and group settings, fostered in Bob's heart a passion to communicate the love and grace of God to hurting people throughout the nation and the world. Thus, in 1977, Bob George founded Dallas-based People to People Ministries.

For many years, Bob hosted People to People, a daily radio broadcast. Connecting with listeners across the continent on his live, daily radio broadcast, Bob offered real answers for real life as he addressed common questions as well as the tough issues of today, directing callers to the centrality of "Christ in you, your only hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27).

Bob George is the author of the best-selling book, Classic Christianity, with an estimated 650,000 copies in print worldwide, in 27 languages. Bob also has authored several other books including Growing in Grace, Faith That Pleases God, as well as numerous Bible study guides.

Bob and his wife Amy, author of Goodbye Is Not Forever, live in Dallas, Texas. They have two children and four grandchildren.

Reviews

[Neil Steinwand · Rating 3 out of 5]

A look at depression from a Christian counselor. He discusses how unbiblical expectations and dependencies cause anxiety and wrong attitudes. The next section explains how to combat them through an understanding of who we are in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.
My problem with the book is his brunt dismissal of the use of drugs to deal with the problem. All truth is God's truth, and the wisdom of psychology properly discerned can be useful as well.
