Download or read book Battling Unbelief written by John Piper and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastor John Piper shows how to sever the clinging roots of sin that ensnare us, including anxiety, pride, shame, impatience, covetousness, bitterness, despondency, and lust in Battling Unbelief. When faith flickers, stoke the fire. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it offers some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us, until we believe that God is more desirable than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Only the power of God’s superior promises in the gospel can emancipate our hearts from servitude to the shallow promises and fleeting pleasures of sin. Delighting in the bounty of God’s glorious gospel promises will free us for a less sin-encumbered life, to the glory of Christ. Rooted in solid biblical reflection, this book aims to help guide you through the battles to the joys of victory by the power of the gospel and its superior pleasure.

Download or read book The Anxious Christian written by Rhett Smith and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is anxiety “un-Christian”? Many Christians believe the answer to this question is yes! Understandably, then, many Christians feel shame when they are anxious. They especially feel this shame when well-intentioned fellow believers dismiss or devalue anxiety with Christian platitudes and Bible verses. Rhett Smith, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, helps us understand anxiety in a new way. Rhett argues that, rather than being destructive or shameful, anxiety can be a catalyst for our spiritual growth. Using Biblical thinking and personal examples, Rhett explains how anxiety allows us to face our resistance and fears, understand where those fears come from, and then make intentional decisions about issues such as career, marriage, money, and our spiritual lives. Allow this book to challenge your view of anxiety, and allow God to use your anxiety for good.

Download or read book What Women Fear written by Angie Smith and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman's faith in God is challenged by the first question Satan asks Eve in the Bible: "Did God really say you can’t eat from any tree in the garden?" That seed of doubt and the story it begins to unfold breed a concept of fear still haunting each of us on some level every day-the idea that our actions could ruin something beautiful, and God might not have control of things. In What Women Fear, acclaimed writer and speaker Angie Smith admits, "fear is a major part of my testimony" and talks openly about her treatment for anxiety as a child. Giving a voice to the problem, she says, "I truly believe every single one of us struggles with some type of fear, whether it's fear of flying or fear of being 'found out.' Maybe you don’t worry about dying, but you get sick thinking about the fact that you might fail." Rather than suggesting that those who truly love the Lord would never fear, Angie blends her own experiences with those of men and women from throughout Scripture to help us start dealing more effectively with these true, human emotions. Whether it’s a constant "What if?," a nagging fear of abandonment or betrayal, fear of your own or someone else’s death, fear of trusting God's plan, or even the fear that God's existence is a lie, Angie will walk you through stories of others who have simultaneously loved God and struggled with fear. Join Angie and discover how to let Jesus redeem this struggle as only He can, that He will be glorified, and you will be transformed! Endorsements Angie Smith has the rare gift to write a non-fiction page-turner as good as any fiction book I've read. As her words tumbled out in raw honesty, fresh hope spread before me. Her teachings on fear are comforting, practical, and gut honest. I can't wait for you to read this life-changing book. What Women Fear is one of my favorites this year. Honestly, I think it will stay next to my bed for a very long time. Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times best-selling author of Made to Crave You don't have to be around Angie Smith very long to fall in love with her. She is funny and transparent with a passionate love for Christ. In What Women Fear Angie holds up a mirror so that we can see ourselves from every angle, the thoughts we display on the front shelves of our lives and those we hide. The greatest gift tucked into this book is the overwhelming picture of the mercy of our God who understands our fears and invites us to stand beside Him in the rain and let His love wash us clean. Sheila Walsh, author of The Shelter of God's Promises Whatever high wire you’re walking right now, there really is nobody you want at the other end of the line like Angie Smith. And this rare gem of a book is like a steadying, sure hand taking you right into His presence in ways you never imagined. Vivid, profoundly biblical, yet girlfriend real with just-the-medicine-you-need-funny, every page is reviving hope for every woman. Simply, Angie Smith is a Bible teacher for such a time as this. Ann Voskamp, New York Times best-selling author of One Thousand Gifts

Download or read book Faith Over Anxiety written by Jeri Stunkard and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-13 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith Over Anxiety is a 12-month journal to help you have faith, let it go, and leave your worries behind. I've heard it said, "Worry is the illusion of control." We believe if we worry enough about something we will some how control the outcome. That is the illusion, my friend. Worrying is a waste of time. It's a waste of a life. Not only can we not change the outcome by worrying, but we will not add one more day to our life. Just the opposite, excessive worry is bad for our health. Worry, if allowed to get out of control, leads to anxiety, depression, and a whole host of other health issues. Today has worries, tomorrow will have worries, and the day after that too. So, stop letting worry and anxiety control your life and get on with it--because there will be something else to worry about tomorrow and we have better things to do than worry. MINDFUL PROMPTS: 12-months of thoughtful journaling prompts to help you tame the anxiety and worry so you can live your best life. CREATIVELY FAITHFUL: Inspirational Bible verses to calm your spirit and remind you to lean on your faith during times of anxiety. SELF-CARE: Build an everyday habit of walking in faith to help you let go of the anxiety and worry that clutters your heart and mind--and remind you WHO is in control. JOURNAL PROMPTS INCLUDE: Anxiety Debrief Coping Strategies Anxiety Tracker Life Assessment Grateful Heart List Trigger Tracker Mood Chart And, so much more! ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jeri Stunkard is the owner of Have Faith Studio, a graphic designer, artist, forever faithful, someone who struggles with anxiety, a fan of Pink (the entertainer and the color), a sucker for cute puppy videos, and creatively and wonderfully made. She lives in Colorado with her husband of 25-years, 2 children, and 1 spoiled toy poodle. Her personal Bible verse is Hebrews 11:1.

As someone who suffered from severe anxiety, Katie Smith knows the realities of fear and panic that grip much of the world today. No matter the strength of your faith or fervency of your prayers, anxiety can still grow like weeds in a manicured lawn. Yet, there is hope and healing when you recognize that your control is not within your power but within your purpose. As she was forced to let go of her perceived desires and stripped off "band-aids" that were placed over those weeds and wounds, Katie gained a new perspective that shaped her attitude towards anxiety. Through personal experiences blended with biblical insights and compelling research, Katie examines anxiety from various vantage points such as: - The difference between stress and anxiety - Dealing with heartache: death, betrayal, and isolation - Recognizing the strongholds and influence of technology over our thoughts - Guardrails against future panic and fear An Antidote to Anxiety doesn't exist apart from the hard work of pulling weeds and cleaning wounds, but if you are willing to take steps toward truthful saturation, meaning service, and humble silence, you'll settle your life and gain your own fearless faith.
