Anxiety Attacked (MacArthur Study) [Paperback]

John F., Jr. MacArthur (Author)

Book Description

Series: MacArthur Study | Publication Date: July 1993

SAY NO TO FEAR AND ANXIETY

So many things to worry about and so little time to worry! Christians obviously are not immune to the troubles of life, and when troubles do come we're urged to rise above them and experience "peace that passes understanding." But how, in day-to-day life, does that really happen? While numerous books have been written on overcoming anxiety, Anxiety Attacked goes beyond pop psychology's temporary cures by returning us to our only true source of comfort and victory—Scripture. John MacArthur compassionately demonstrates from such passages as Matthew 6:25-34, Philippians 4:6-9, and 1 Peter 5:5-7 God's concern about our anxious situations, and helps us appropriate His resources for dealing with them calmly, yet effectively.

So when anxiety attacks, attack anxiety!

Dr. John MacArthur, Jr. is Pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, and President of The Master's College and Seminary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Pass This One By!, March 22, 2002

This review is from: Anxiety Attacked (MacArthur Study) (Paperback)

I bought this book for a friend dealing with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) literally because the author quoted so much scripture in it. After all, where else but in God's word would you find the arsenal necessary to combat the demons of anxiety?

While waiting to give it to the intended I ended up reading it myself. I was so glad I did! This is much more than a therapeutic book for people dealing with anxiety or other compulsion! Like a spiritual physician John Macarthur Jr. adeptly applies the salve of scripture to the many "cares of the soul". I think everyone worries at one time or another and this book is definitely one to keep on the shelf for just such times! Anxiety Attacked is a very real and viable lifetime reference tool.

The "Psalms for the anxious" and personal and group study guides that Mr. Macarthur included at the end make it an outstanding choice for pastors and church administrators looking to provide assistance for the struggling anxious in their congregation. Whether or not you think you have a problem with anxiety you can't help but come away from this book better equipped to deal with life's many curve balls. Onward Christian soldiers!!

This review is from: Anxiety Attacked (MacArthur Study) (Paperback)

I had debilitating anxiety and fear. I bought this book hoping something would help me. I am almost finished with it and I can say it has helped me greatly. If you suffer from anxiety, fear or worry, get this book. Using the Bible, he deals with the topics in a very clear way. One suggestion though. Don't just sit down and read it in one night. Read a few pages, think about them, pray, jot down pertinent verses and post them where you can see them easily, and do the study in the back. I took several months to go through this book. Some passages I re-read because I really wanted it to sink in. I don't think it would have helped as much if I just read it through quickly and put it back on the shelf.
