Jesus is recorded in the Bible as commanding His followers, "do not worry". However, with anxiety and depression diagnoses rising across the world is that still a reasonable demand for those experiencing difficulties with their mental health?
In this medically-informed and biblically-grounded book, Dr Amanda Porter uses her personal and professional experience to addresses the tension between anxiety and faith, including its neurobiological roots and spiritual overtones. Dr Porter directly addresses whether anxiety is ever a 'sin' and if Christians should take medication for depression and anxiety. She also offers focused and actionable skills in reframing, self-talk, and diet and exercise to deal with anxiety in a Godly and holistic way.
Writing with the gentle approachability of a friend and the expertise of a seasoned mental health expert, this book brings a fresh Christian outlook on living faithfully with anxiety.
