5.0 out of 5 stars Only God can--Calm My Anxious Heart shows you how!, August 14, 1999

By	[e-mail] (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

For thirteen years I've struggled and watched my women friends struggle with anxiety vs. peace, worry vs. calm, control vs. submission, emptiness vs. letting God fill the hole in our hearts. I found myself unable to put this book down, yet having to as I would become overwhelmed by my need to talk to God. As I turned the pages and the chapters, I was blessed by the way the personal experiences shared by Linda pointed my eyes to God rather than to her. She shares so many scriptures, revealing how they minister to my anxious heart, that at times I felt like I was reading a well-annotated Bible. While reading this book, you will get the distict feeling that Linda is sitting next to you, with a Bible in one hand and your hand in the other, teaching you how to be a woman at peace with God and yourself. The book ends with a moving letter in which Linda states she is praying for you, the reader, that God will minister to you. Read the book and let God minister--when you get to her letter, you will know she's still praying. Thanks, Linda! God is answering your prayers for this reader. I have joined in your prayers as I send this book to every woman I know who also has an anxious heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Life without worry!, July 20, 2000

By A Customer

We all long for contentment and calm in our everyday lives, yet seldom find either. This twelve week study has begun to lead me to a place of calm through listening more closely to GOD's teachings. Linda Dillow has given practical exercises in the word that leads to a more fulfilled and content life as a wife, mother, teacher and friend. Trusting God totally is the theme from this excellent study. I also purchased the Mercies Journal and have found it a real meaningful practice each day. This study has been life changing for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars The principles in this book have literally changed my life., October 17, 1999

By	Kathlyn Britton (Edmond, OK) - See all my reviews

My life will never be the same after reading this book. Worry, anxiety, stress, disliking myself and my circumstances have all become "former things" as God has renewed my mind, body, and spirit through this wonderful book. A must read.
