Review :
"A recommended read providing candid, common sense on a debilitating mental health issue. The author's own struggle to overcome the crippling effects of anxiety, is both elementary and encouraging. This is a book that neither simplifies the issue nor shames the one who struggles, while giving proper place to both the power of prayer and the importance of medical intervention when required. I particularly liked the focus on healthy mind, body and spirit interventions and will recommend it to colleagues and clients alike."--Marion Goertz, DMin, RP, RMFT, CTS, RST, CEFT

Must read for anyone struggling with any form of mental health."--Brett Ullman, speaker, author, blogger
