Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., Nov 1, 2012 - 158 pages
What a beautiful book. Seriously. I love reading all sorts
of Christian books but this one just had a different feel. The authors open up
their personal lives allowing the reader in and making themselves vulnerable by
sharing such personal experiences. I write this review from the perspective
that I am constantly under stress, anxiety, and am always overwhelmed. I do try
to find hope through my relationship with God but as the authors point out in
the book through their experiences, God does not always bring about healing
using our timeline. This book was a breath of fresh air, gave me hope,
encouragement, but most of all I walked away with peace after reading it (and
every single time I put it down).
I love the bible and so was overjoyed with the amount of
passages I saw in this book. I believe our primary manual for anything should
be the bible; therefore, seeing so many passages in this book reassured me that
what the authors had to say did not come from their own personal philosophies
but came from the word of God.
I would seriously recommend this book not only to those struggling
with depression or OCD (two subjects they cover wonderfully), but anyone in
need of hope or encouragement whether it be in school, personal lives, etc.,
get the book, you wont be disappointed.
I actually got this book thinking I could use some pointers
to help a loved one suffering major depression. I was expecting I’d get
something out of it to help my loved one (and I did) but I was not expecting a
blessing for myself as well. Highly recommended. I also want to thank Tyndale
publishing for having provided me a copy of this book so that I may be blessed
by it in return for an honest review.
