Worry and its fraternal twins anxiety and stress affect our mind, body, and spirit-and can make us miserable. In these practical pages, Michael Ross-with contributions from Dr. Arnie Cole and leading researcher Pamela Ovwigho, PhD-helps readers to identify the root cause and provides easy-to follow plans to find relief. This insightful and easy-to-read resource includes Bible-based wisdom, advice, and treatment options from psychological and medical professionals. Our bodies are not designed for a continual state of fear, worry, and anxiety, but instead for continual tranquility with short bursts of adrenaline. Seven Secrets of Worry-free Living shows how anyone can break the cycle of unnecessary suffering and find peace in Christ.
This was a different read for me but as I suffer from GAD I thought I would step out of my comfort zone and review something a little different. This book is about stress and anxiety, its effects on our mind and bodies, and how to manage and reduce stress. It is a relative easy read and contains some medical research but it is written in a way that a layperson can understand it. It is christian based book and does include a lot of reference to scripture. Also, this book has discussion questions at the end for a group study. Even if you are not a religious person, there are still several benefits to this book. There are tests in the book to determine your level of stress and your child’s level of stress (which I found personally beneficial), ways to reduce stress (not just praying) and helpful ways to handle stress that are also not religious based. Therefore, I think believers and non-believers would benefit from this book.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to review this book free of charge.
