Unfortunately, there were several things about this book I was unaware of when I picked it up. One, it is written by someone with a Catholic belief system. I do not personally align with that, though that doesn't mean there weren't some valid points and helpful bits. It does mean that I found some of the things very distracting and annoying.
Two, this book was written primarily for a group study. Many group studies are written in a way that you can read solo as well. This book claims that, but it again is distracting. It's clearly intended for a group.

There were some good reminders about worry and some tidbits that I felt useful but overall it just wasn't for me. A Catholic individual who is looking for a group to help them with worrying would probably love this.

This personal, practical guide to busting the worry habit is a Scripture-rich resource for any group (family, parish group, school group, or book club) who wants to cultivate deeper trust in God and find (as the subtitle promises) "hopeful living and lasting peace."

Whether you cover the material over eight weeks (as the text suggests) or read it through at a brisker pace, you will appreciate Gary's down-home approachability, his honest struggles, and his firm conviction that it IS possible to break the worry habit!

Thanks to this book, I am finally getting into a habit of recalling the presence of Christ in the midst of my sufferings. As a result, I stop worrying and frequently obtain peace, even if my problem is still unresolved. This book taught me that I can’t worry and pray at the same time!

This is a very helpful book. If you're a worry wart like me, do read it. The Conclusion chapter alone is worth the cost of the book, but do go through all eight weeks of the program.
