FlyBy Promotions Book Review: Moving Beyond Anxiety by David Chadwick

Do you feel like a cloud of worry follows wherever you go? Do you dread the unknown? In today’s anxiety economy its raising stress levels, it’s no secret that fear is often at the root of our problems.

The key to overcoming your anxiety is found in the person of Jesus. He calls us to trust rather than despair—to “not be anxious” (Matthew 6:25), and to cast all our cares on him (1 Peter 5:7).

Author David Chadwick shares 12 ways you can overcome life’s fears and worries—all of which come straight from Scripture and include…

· focusing on faith

· praying

· caring for your health

· remembering God’s promises

· finding good teammates

· developing an eternal perspective

Moving Beyond Anxiety will equip you to defeat worry and fear by trusting God and exercising your faith daily. As you immerse yourself in God’s truth, you will discover it is truly the most powerful antidote to anxiety.

I come from a family where Anxiety is prevalent for many of my family members. Aunts, Uncles, Siblings, Cousins, the next generation is suffering from Anxiety. It amazes me how many are suffering from Anxiety in my family, from about 4 generations.

Anxiety is also very prevalent in Society, especially in the times we are living in now. Author David Chadwick tackles a topic that is sometimes thrown to the side by Churches and Christians. Anxiety can really tear apart a person who suffers from Anxiety. David Chadwick takes the reader through Biblical Principles and strategies for dealing with Anxiety. I really like his 12 Strategy focus.

The 12 Strategies are:

Focus on Faith

Pray

Fast

Cast

Consider Creation

Ponder the Prepositions

Remember

Sing

Remember Your Body

Develop an Eternal Perspective

Get Good Teammates

Realize God Do Not Give You a Spirit of Fear

I really enjoyed the book and I will be using the info from this book to help my Son and I through our Anxiety issues. Some parts of the book are hard to comprehend due to the writing style, but I was able to overcome those parts. I really appreciate how the book is done in a Biblical Perspective, as many Churches don't tackle anxiety issues.

VERY good book for those who suffer from Anxiety. I HIGHLY recommend the book!
