My review...
If you struggle with anxiety, stress, or fear, this could be a helpful book to check out.
The book has fifty readings, somewhat devotional in nature. The book covers a variety of topics, such as: fear, loneliness, forgiveness, prayer, grace, hope, death, and various Psalms. Unlike a standard devotional, the passages don't begin with a Scripture verse, but relevant verses are included in the message. Each entry ends with a response question for reflection or journaling. I read an electronic copy of the book, and it has a clickable Table of Contents, which makes it easy for the reader to choose the topics that interest them, in case they do not want to read the book in order. The information provided contains practical action steps to help the reader keep their anxiety in check.

Some quotes that stuck out to me:
- "Anything of value comes through perseverance."
- "Our anxieties want relief now, and God's promises do not guarantee an easier life. He promises a full and abundant life, not an easy one."
- "'I am with you' is the gift to anxious people."
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy as part of the Read with Audra program, but I wasn't required to leave a positive review.
