Fear and anxiety are chronic struggles for many people that are only intensifying and increasing. Best-selling author Edward T. Welch shares the comfort and peace of Jesus in fifty brief readings for those who wrestle with fear.
A Small Book for the Anxious Heart is a small but powerful devotional to remind men and women of the encouraging, beautiful words in Scripture to anxious people.
While many books on fear and anxiety exist—promising to help men and women manage their struggles with methods and formulas—this devotional reaches deeper into Scripture, making the Word of God more accessible. Don’t put a Band-Aid on your fear and anxiety; rather, learn to bring your fear to Jesus, relying on his Word.
Welch has been counseling for over thirty-eight years and is the author of more than a dozen books, including A Small Book about a Big Problem, Running Scared: Fear, Worry and the God of Rest, Shame Interrupted, When People Are Big and God Is Small, and many others.
Jesus cares for us, and in these readings, Welch invites readers to trust him for today, knowing he goes before us always.
MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Many people deal with anxiety, and this book is really good for those people. It is written for those dealing with this issue. And I can relate that, though we know that God can take care of our anxiety, it’s sometimes so overwhelming we need help encouraging us with scripture and someone explaining it in a way that it is easily understood. In the 50 lessons in this book, Welch is teaching how to overcome fear, frustration, worry and stress and gives scripture to back up what he is teaching. The book can be used as a reference to go to when feeling of anxiety start.
If you are dealing with anxiety, or any issues that cause you to worry or be afraid, this is a very good handbook for you to keep around. Or maybe you know someone who need help with these issues, what a great book this would be for them.
