Anxious - Bible Study Book with Video Access: Fighting Anxiety with the Word of God

by Scarlet Hiltibidal

We live in a broken, sad, scary place. We don’t need to watch the natural disasters and political unrest in the news to know what our bodies already know. Our bodies get sick. Our minds are fragile. The mortality rate for humans is astonishingly high. There’s plenty to worry about, and the world is full of faulty solutions for our anxieties.
 
But true peace comes when we learn to hold God’s Word up to what worries us. There, we learn we can’t fix ourselves; we can’t protect ourselves. Instead, the Bible tells us we can rest, knowing that Jesus walked into the broken, sad, scary places to rescue us and love us. He is the One who fixes. His is the only protection that matters.
 
Join Scarlet Hiltibidal in this 8-session study to learn how we can practically take hold of the perfect peace that is only available through God as we dive deeply into His Word, embrace the practice of prayer, and live authentically in the support of our communities of faith.

The ladies in my Bible study really loved this book. And the suggestions the author makes for working through Anxiety are solid and biblically based.

Had my group not loved this so much, I probably would have given it only three stars because, as the facilitator, this was a difficult book to go through.

Most of the Bible studies we do have weekly homework, but the focus is for the time spent together in the group. That didn't seem to be the case with this study. The weekly meetings gave sparse - almost non-existent - suggestions for activities. There were 5 questions that could be discussed, one from each lesson, but nothing new to uncover or dig into.

And what was more disappointing - and almost non-existent - were the videos. Scarlet has stories to share, but she clearly didn't like being in front of the camera. Her longest video wasn't even 8 minutes long. That compacted with the lack of material from the book itself left me scrambling to build lessons every week.

It is a good study, but leaders need to be aware of the teaching element and needs before jumping into this study.

wowow so so good. the things the Lord showed me through this study are honestly the main reason I was able to go through the season of applying for jobs & starting my new one with so much trust in Him. I was so down, pessimistic, and anxious at the beginning of the summer and He transformed my heart and my mind to trust so much more in His plan and I had so much peace over the whole process & going into my first day. this is one of the studies I’ve gone through where I’ve seen the most transformation in my life and I am so thankful!!!!

Wonderful book about how to turn to the Lord and His word to fight anxiety! It also was very refreshing to read and meet with my women's Bible study group to learn and realize that just because you may struggle with anxiety doesn't mean that you are a bad Christian! This book explores different people in the Bible and how they also struggled with anxiety, and then gives you scripture and strategy to fight your own anxieties! I really loved it!

I really enjoyed this study. I and a group of women of all ages and back grounds studied together how to combat anxiety. It’s not a quick fix for anxiety. We will continue to struggle with day to day battles and worries. Scarlet Hiltibidal does a wonderful job of using her personal struggles and prominent figures from scripture to give us examples of how the lord works for us through his plan. She is able to keep deep situations light, and she is so sweet.

Really great Bible study. It was a great bonding experience, as many ladies felt like they didn’t “have anxiety” but really, turns out we all do, it just looks different one different people. Really eye opening and helpful! Would highly suggest.

[Emma Porter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great study! Helps you remember that you aren’t alone in your struggle with anxiety and gives you ways to fight it. Not a quick fix but definitely puts weapons in your arsenal to help fight the good fight and take control where you can on your anxiety.

[Deedee Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good principles to put into practice. A lot of homework and thought go into change.
