While the months of pandemic risk and uncertainty have certainly been difficult physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially for so many of us--they served to add even greater anxiety to those of us already struggling with challenges! This week, I had the opportunity to read and review a very timely book: Moving Beyond Anxiety by pastor and author David Chadwick. Read my thoughts and learn more about this Christian based, self-help book and about the author!

Moving Beyond Anxiety offers Insights into Truth and Faith. As we face fear-filled situations and anxiety-causing events--we often dwell on fears and doubts rather than refocusing our minds and energies toward faith. This book came at the perfect time for me! While I know that when my situation and circumstances are "out of control"--I can control my own thinking--it is easy to fall into the negative, fear-filled, traps of anxiety. This book offers easy to follow reminders and tools to refocus our minds on faith through Bible passages and Biblical ideals.
The Author Shares an Easy to Read and Easy to Understand Guide for Christians. Strong, practicing Christians may find this book quite familiar as many of the teachings are those that we have likely heard frequently over time. It is perfect, however, for those of us who need some friendly, faith-filled reminders (and support) from time to time! The author's writing style offers short, easy to read chapters that, while do contain a lot of Scripture and Biblical reasoning, are presented in a very simple, easy to follow and easy to understand format.
Would I Recommend Moving Beyond Anxiety by David Chadwick? Feelings of anxiety make even enjoying everyday life difficult at times. Many of us face (and battle) feelings of anxiety, dread, self-doubt, and fear again and again throughout any given day! This book is full of timely advice and support for Christians feeling anxiety--and tips and reminders to face some of the anxiety-riddled situations through Biblical Truths and Faith. I would recommend this book to any Christian seeking a little spiritual support and some reminders in terms of faith and hope to help them through challenging times.
