Freedom from Fear: Overcoming Worry and Anxiety [Paperback]

Neil T. Anderson (Author), Rich Miller (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 1999

Striking at the very roots of fear and anxiety, bestselling authors Anderson and Miller reveal how readers can overcome their fears through the power of Jesus Christ.

Even believers can let the normal concerns of life get blown out of proportion, becoming ensnared in worry and anxiety: What if something happens to my spouse? What if something were to happen to one of my children? What if this plane crashes? Uncovering the surprising scope of fear in the body of Christ and how many Christians who believe in the Lord’s care and love are being kept from God’s best by their fears, Freedom from Fear shows readers how to take back their lives.

This eye-opening book examines the roots of worry and anxiety, such as fear of rejection, disapproval, failure, and the unknown. Readers will learn how fear-filled strongholds develop and discover the tools they need to tear down the prison walls. Reaching out to anyone crippled by worries, Anderson and Miller share how the fear of God dispels all unhealthy fears and leads believers to joyous freedom. Includes a 21-day devotional guide to help readers on their journey from fear to peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for breaking strongholds of fear and anxiety, March 27, 2003

This review is from: Freedom from Fear: Overcoming Worry and Anxiety (Paperback)

I read this book and will continue to use it as a reference book as I grow in my christianity. This book is clear, concise, very easy to follow and is steeped in scripture and helpful prayers. This book covers all areas of fear and anxiety, including Fear of Death, Fear of Failure, Fear of Man, Panic Disorder, Anxious Thinking and worrying among others. This book points the believer toward Christ through prayer, building up of ones faith, and biblical scripture in an effort to break the stongholds of fear and/or anxiety over his/her life by building a stronghold of faith in Christ.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is dealing with strongholds of anxiety and/or fear.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as previous books by Anderson., July 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Freedom from Fear: Overcoming Worry and Anxiety (Paperback)

I love Neil Anderson's books, but this one was missing something. Not sure what. It just didn't have the motivating characteristics that his books normally have. Overall, a decent book to read. Usually, I can't put them down, but I found myself reading a few pages here, a chapter there. No big hurry to finish. It doesn't really address panic attacks even though there is one failing attempt to cover the subject by adding a chapter on it. Nothing new and the same scriptures are used over and over again throughout the book. Take a chance. You might like it.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book disappointed me, February 13, 2006

This review is from: Freedom from Fear: Overcoming Worry and Anxiety (Paperback)

I thoroughly enjoyed The Bondage Breaker, is a book chock full of godly and spiritual. I would recommend that book for panic attacks and anxiety moreso than Freedom From Fear. This book totally misses the mark. Neil and the other guy's attitude towards people with panic disorder is condescending and dismissive, to say the least. He even seems like he's blaming people with this disorder for bringing it on themselves with sin. That's so far off the mark I couldn't believe he would say something like that. I was very dissapointed, especially after reading The Bondage Breaker, which was wonderful. And in case you're wondering, I'm a born again Christian. I have panic disorder and I want to get out of this God's way, not the world's way, which is why I was so disappointed when I read this. I bought a secular book by Dr. Carbonell called "The Panic Attack Workbook" instead.
