Discover true peace in an age of anxiety

No question, we have a lot to worry about. Children, jobs, homes, health, finances, and more. The solution isn't to rid ourselves of the sources of anxiety--as if we could. Instead, we need to recognize that anxiety originates from a spiritual influence and that we can fight back using the God-given weapons of power, love, and a sound mind.

Sharing her own story of emerging from the battle with anxiety as well as the stories of others, Dr. Michelle Bengtson reminds you of your identity as a follower of Christ and of the peace he promises you in spite of everything. She provides tools to cope with the crushing emotional burden of anxiety now and, more importantly, shows you how to reclaim God's peace as a way of life so that you can break anxiety's grip.

"If you are looking to eradicate the power that anxiety has over your life, you might consider a good counselor. Or you might look for someone who's been through what you're facing now. Perhaps you'd seek out a trusted friend. What if I told you that you could have all three? That's what you get in Breaking Anxiety's Grip. Dr. Michelle Bengtson is all of that--and more."
