4.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful, useful tool of a book, January 10, 2000

This review is from: Free from Fears: New Help for Anxiety, Panic & Agorophobia (Paperback)

As a sufferer of chronic panic attacks for years this book was a godsend. I utilized it as part of a therapy effort to overcome panic attacks (which I did, and have been free of them for the last 5 years.) The book is clear, identifies exactly what people suffering from anxiety go through physically and psychologically, and helps begin the process of becoming free from panic attacks. While I do NOT believe the book is sufficent by itself to free a person from serious anxiety/panic disorder, I do believe it is a crucial foundation stone in that work. I highly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for mild anxiety and fear, June 4, 2004

This review is from: Free from Fears: New Help for Anxiety, Panic and Agoraphobia (Hardcover)

This book may be helpful for mild fear or anxiety. But not if a person is severely impaired or "mentally ill". If you know someone who is "comitted" or insane, chances are more likely they have what the Bible calls a "spirit of fear". Scripture says that.... God does not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. It also says that fear hath torment (mental and physical torment). If you have a spirit of fear, then you know what I mean (OCD, hopelessness, the physical charges or sensations). Scripture also states that perfect love casteth out fear. If you are in a verbally or physically abusive relationship, you will not be free. Drugs may be necessary to keep you going till you are free. Also, pray to God to set you free from the bondage you are in.
