Statistically, life has never been safer. Yet worry has reached epidemic proportions. So what has gone wrong? Many Christians are suffering in silence, unsure if psychological solutions are appropriate for them, or if biblical teaching can lead them to freedom.

The Worry Book offers a fresh solution: seeing the process of worry as the problem, rather than getting stuck into individual concerns. We can use worry to create a sense of certainty and control, but the illusion is temporary, and we generate even more problems in the process. Here we learn about the factors behind worry, and how to disable the cycle of worry and tolerate uncertainty – principles we can apply to every situation.

This is a journeyman's guide through the comedy and heartache of discovering worry's function, and so removing its power. Good theology and psychology combine to offer new perspectives and real hope.

Jesus didn't say, 'There's nothing to worry about', but 'Don't worry in spite of everything there is to worry about.' Will van der Hart and Rob Waller tackle this key issue in many people's lives.' - Nicky Gumbel, Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton

'One of the hardest verses in the Bible is 'Do not worry', and I was therefore intrigued by The Worry Book. Well, I couldn't put it down! It is honest, humorous and holistic. I was re-educated and I am already seeing the benefits.' - Canon J.John, author and evangelist

'A very thoughtful, balanced and practical approach to the reality of anxiety. The authors have authority to write on worry, not only because they know the subject very well, but especially because they have a passion to help others with the same spirit as the Great Physician: reaching the whole person and not only their emotions. The Worry Book goes far beyond the practical help of a mere self-help book; it is a therapeutic tool that is solidly founded on the Scriptures.' - Dr Pablo Martinez, author and psychiatrist

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This is an incredibly good book that takes a killer of a problem – Worry – and tries to lessen the impact it can have on one’s life, health and relationships, both personal and corporate/community based. It is intelligent, serious and well thought out, at all times honest, it offers no quick fix solutions, no promises of radical divine healing, instead it offers proven insight, experience and exercises that one can keep returning to as needed, after all worry is a problem that can re-occur at any time given the right situations. It doesn’t offer platitudes but it does offer concrete learning plans and strategies. This for me is a brilliant example of exactly what a good self-help book should look like and so seldom does. If you have a tendency to worry then this book really is highly recommended reading, and if you are in a position of pastoral oversight then this is also well worth looking at for the insights it can offer.
