This review is from: Don't Forget To Look Up : A Christian's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety and Panic Attacks (Paperback)

This book is part self-help, and part autobiography. You won't really find a lot of specific ways to help overcome anxiety attacks here. Most of the techniques are very general in nature, and this book is in no way an exhaustive review of how to treat anxiety or panic attacks.

Still, the book is very inspirational, and any Christian that suffers from anxiety and panic attacks will find it worth reading. Its main virture is really its inspiration though, rather than any specific methods for combatting anxiety.

I found one of the chapters, on Bible verses that relate to anxiety and strength, to be the most helpful. The book is a quick read. You should be able to finish it in 1-2 sittings.

Definitely inspirational, and worth your reading time. There aren't many books available on Christian spirituality and conquering anxiety. If you aren't Christian, and have no interest in becoming Christian, this book won't really help you much. If you are, and you suffer from anxiety, definitely check it out.

If you are struggling with anxiety and or panic attacks then you need to read this book. Unlike books written by Doctors about their patients, this author gives you a personal account with her struggles with panic and anxiety and how she was able with God's help to overcome them. I've referred back to this book many times, it's not only filled with practical insight on helping you understand and deal with panic and anxiety but it also refers to scripture dealing with anxiety. I have found that of all the books I've read, this one, has truly helped me the most in my recovery of anxiety. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Don't Forget To Look Up : A Christian's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety and Panic Attacks (Paperback)

I was recently diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder and was in great need for some basic Christian support and guidance to help me understand how I could recover from such a disorder. Angela's book provided me with biblical references pertaining to anxiety and a real person's story of tribulation and triumph. This book gives lay terminology for people who are just experiencing the newness of this frightful disorder. The biblical quotes that are given have been a great source of comfort during many hard times. I strongly recommend this book to any person needing a true, sincere and simple look at what panic attacks and anxiety disorders are, what God has to say about them, and how to find inner-strength to recover.
