by David Chadwick
We are living in a time filled with fear and anxiety. When the world around is so uncertain and unfamiliar, the mind tends to wander toward the worries. This book comes out at the perfect time as more and more people are suffering from anxiety, depression and mental health decline.
Written by pastor David Chadwick, "Moving Beyond Anxiety" addresses the Christian way to address anxiety via 12 practical strategies designed to help the reader re-think and renew their minds. From the very start, Chadwick introduces readers to the definitions of fear and anxiety and proposes that to address fear, we must first address anxiety.
This book is an easy read, chock full of scripture, sound reasoning and Christian guidance to help lead individuals struggling with anxiety toward a path of renewal and healing, on toward a life where anxiety is no longer in control, but instead viewed as a tool of the enemy used to draw our eyes from our faith in Christ. It is written in a soothing, fatherly manner that is calming and feels as if one is sitting down to chat with a trusted friend or counselor as opposed to being "taught". Very refreshing and comforting to read!
Being one of the people struggling with anxiety terribly over the pandemic and the crisis abounding in our nation and even in my state and nearby cities, I was so excited to get my hands on this book, with hopes of freedom or at least some relief from the struggles I have daily with my mental health. I have not been disappointed. I have picked up many tools and ideas to lead me on my walk toward tackling this part of my thinking. There is so much in this book that I am set to read it a second, and probably third time because I want to fully absorb every bit of wisdom I can. I have also recommended it to many of my friends who are in similar situations currently on their walk through anxiety.
I cannot recommend this book enough!
