I love JMC and have been majorly impacted by his books. This one wasn’t my favorite, primarily due to a lot of “shoulds” that aren’t helpful to how I relate to the Lord. But I still value the wisdom and perspective JMC presents.

Very thought provoking book that I think is good for all believers, not just those struggling with anxiety and depression.
I am naturally disposed to have a much more positive outlook on life, but randomly bought this book last year because a friend had read it and I was intrigued.
This past week, I came to the end of my emotional rope. After three weeks of hardly any sleep, traveling, emotional upheaval and working like crazy, I was a stressed out, emotional mess. I was hardly able to eat and by Thursday after work, I was in so much pain from the knots in my stomach that I just laid in my bed, reading my Bible and praying.
And I remembered the book I bought a year ago, sitting on my shelf.
After just reading the first few chapters, I was helped though a process of untying the knots in my stomach. I was shown some habitual sin in my life that I needed to get out. It was painful, but well worth it.
I'm about to buy at least one, probably two copies to send to friends. Highly recommended!

This book sheds a great light on a true and biblical response to something that is unfortunately common in this day and age.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with depression and anxiety, or to anyone who knows someone who is struggling.

Honestly, this book was my lifeline during my darkest days. This is story of a pastor (from Portland, OR) who shares part of his personal story how he overcame the horrors of anxiety and depression and came out the other side. His writing style is easy to read, ingrained with scripture that’s always pointing you back to Jesus, and a raw storyteller that makes it feel like he’s talking directly to you. He challenges you not to run from you anxiety and depression, but to sit in it, find the root, and move toward lasting heal. Hope is our lifeline. He shares practical tips and strategies to conquer anxiety and depression and heal your soul. I encourage anyone who’s struggled with anxiety or depression to read this book.

I love it when Christians write about Mental Health! Such a great book, especially if you struggle with anxiety and/or depression
