Anxiety: Anatomy and Cure (Gospel for Real Life)
The Gospel isn t just an ethereal idea. It s not a philosophy and it s not static. It moves and shapes and transforms the lives of those who by God s grace alone put their faith in Jesus life, death and resurrection. I am grateful for ABC s work of letting the Gospel bear it s weight on these real life sorrows and pains.—Series Endorsement: Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village Church, Flower Mound, TexasWho doesn t experience fear and anxiety? I know I do. This booklet has put in one place key biblical principles for addressing these common human issues biblically, realistically, practically, and compassionately. I especially appreciated that the counsel given dealt both with the details of key passages of Scripture and with the theological big picture of who our Lord is in relationship to us and who we are to him. Sprinkled throughout are questions and assignments to challenge your thinking and your soul. It was helpful for me both as a counselor and as one who needs to apply these truths myself. I know it will help you too.—Ernie Baker, Professor of Biblical Counseling, The Master s College; NANC-certified CounselorMost of us already know that anxiety includes trust issues in our relationship with Christ, but that often doesn t stop us from being anxious. Dr. Bob Kellemen gives the biblical anatomy of this basic truth with a concise but substantial consideration of how Christ stimulates trust from those he loves and what effect this trust has on the emotional life of a Christian.—Jeremy Pierre, Assistant Professor of Biblical Counseling, Southern Baptist Theological SeminarySo many trembling souls will thank God for the peace they will experience through reading this incredibly helpful booklet. I can t believe how good this is. I learned a ton about myself, about my Bible, about my God, and about how to help others. I feel calmer already!—David P. Murray, Professor of Old Testament and Practical Theology, Puritan Reformed Theological SeminaryDr. Bob Kellemen counseled my heart and renewed my mind in significant ways in this helpful, biblical look at the common struggle with anxiety. I will never view or war against my self-focused fear the same again. Bob teaches us how to deal honestly with our emotions while calling us to a lifestyle of daily surrendering them to the mind of Christ. I recommend this biblical resource for all who struggle with fear as well as those who want to help others find victory in the fight.—Dr. Paul Tautges, Pastor, Immanuel Bible Church; Author of Counsel One AnotherWith trademark readability and applicability, Dr. Kellemen has given the church a robust and relational biblical resource to use in aiding anxious, fearful, and worried people through victory in the midst of anxiety.
