GoodBookStall Review:
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.
