Aside from Trusting God by Jerry Bridges, this is by far the best book I’ve read about fear/anxiety/trusting Lord, and one of the best books I’ve read in general. It is full of Scripture, well-articulated, easy to follow, convicting, and comforting.

“The more I discovered of the scientific world, the more it convinced me of the amazing interconnectedness and brilliancy of God’s design.
