Summary
Summary
Fretting over seemingly inconsequential daily headaches. Constantly worrying about family members' health or safety. Being weighed down by negativity from the 24-hour news cycle. It's a wonder anyone can escape anxiety. Unchecked, anxiety can swiftly rob us of our sense of safety, well-being, and peace.
Overcoming Anxiety, Worry, and Fear offers a whole-person approach to coping with and eliminating anxiety. This compassionate combination of common sense, biblical wisdom, and therapeutic advice will help readers unchain themselves from constant worry so that they can "be anxious about nothing" (Phil. 4:6). Trusted author Dr. Gregory L. Jantz helps readers identify the causes for their anxiety, assess the severity of their symptoms, and start down avenues for positive change.

Library Journal Review
Jantz (founder and director, Ctr. for Counseling & Health Resources; Healing the Scars of Emotional Abuse; Every Woman's Guide to Managing Your Anger) uses common sense, biblical wisdom, and therapeutic advice to help readers free themselves from anxiety that can cripple their lives. Jantz devotes the first half of the book to a discussion of the effects of stress on an individual's life and the second half to various procedures to reduce it. Stress-reduction practices include "turning down the volume," "saying no to the small stuff," and "writing one's own script." He provides "anchoring" activities at the end of each chapter along with relevant Bible verses and a prayer. Verdict Jantz offers excellent advice, and the religious aspects, while helpful to Christians, are not a hindrance to nonbelievers.-Deborah Bigelow, Leonia P.L., NJ (c) Copyright 2011.
