Anxiety: Knowing God's Peace

This book is a great resource if you're struggling with knowing God's peace in the midst of anxiety. I've been reading through this as part of my Bible study and have found some really insightful tips to help me when I feel the stress and anxiety weighing in. Each chapter is meant to be read one day at a time - so it's really a devotional to work through. At the end of each chapter is a section for you to reflect and act and I highly recommend working through that activity section. It helps you analyze and reflect on what's giving you anxiety and where your heart is focused. Rooted in faith and backed by scripture, this resource is a perfect companion to come back to over and over whenever you need.

Counselor-pastor Paul Tautges writes warmly and wisely. He's the friend you need when you're freaking out! As I read his 31 short devotionals on overcoming anxiety with God's peace, I felt understood. Yes, like Paul, I've dealt with anxiety and the occasional full-blown panic attack. I'm a counselor too and have required the anxious women I counsel to buy this book. It's THAT useful. Among my favorites: --"Entrust Yourself to God at Night," which speaks to getting our sleep back on track when anxiety over things like overdue bills and a loved one's illness steals shut-eye. --"We Are Weak and Limited," reminding us that our anxieties often spring up over daily weaknesses and that we need to remember inner peace is available from Jesus always. The Introduction, where Paul reveals his story of ending up in the ER twice thinking he had a heart attack (it was anxiety!), and the Conclusion that shows us HOW to meditate on God's word are gems. Hopeful, practical, warm, encouraging. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This devotional was very helpful. I recommend it to anyone who wants to overcome anxiety. I went through it with my husband and also recommended it to a friend.

This is a clear and biblical resource for people of all ages. Get this in the hands of people in your church !

I love and live this devotional! It is well written with practical and biblical principles/ steps that are applicable. I will continue to recommend this devotional to friends and family.

This book is such a treasure I will mine from again and again. I am already recommending it to those whom I counsel, but especially for my own counsel! Paul, in his characteristic gentleness and humility, shares his story of release from anxiety by a diligent study Scripture. He then passes that along to us in short (two-page) readings that also contain daily challenges, practical applications, and thoughts on which to reflect. Whether you are new to the Bible or a serious student of the Word of God, I believe you will find hope and help for your struggles with fear and anxiety. I am so grateful for this devotional, and it truly exemplifies 2 Corinthians 1:3-5. Thank you, Paul, for sharing from your painful struggles so we could be helped in our struggles!

This book was a great source of encouragement and helped bring calm into my life via truths found in God's Word. I highly recommend.

In general I have not found most devotionals to be fruitful for me however, this one was very insightful and went deep. It gave a great biblical take on how to process issues with anxiety.
