By: John Enslow

Narrated by: Christopher O'Neill

Surrender your anxiety!
Be silent and stop your striving and you will see that I am God.

Psalms 46:10a TPT

Anxiety touches most every person in their deepest being. It is a great equalizer and seems to be one of our most common problems. In anxiety we can be easily manipulated and controlled by the many voices looking to gain power over our lives. Whether its the media, family, or the myriads of people we encounter daily, the goal is to gain influence over our choices and lives.

Overcoming Anxiety: Defeat an Inner Thief Killing Our Joy and Life

Anxiety is such a heinous trap that becomes a horrid stronghold which crushes our life and joy. It places our faith in difficulty and struggle saying that life will always be too hard or impossible. This faith is a false faith and robs us of true faith in Christ.

In this audiobook you will discover how to overcome anxiety as a controlling power, and defeat this internal thief that robs you of peace and enjoying the presence of God. We can live free of the controlling power of anxiety and overcome its effects on our lives. This is great news as we were never designed to manhandle this life on our own!

Very insightful!

Anxiety is something that I’ve always struggled with and I’ve never really known how to manage it before. It was always something that I just kind of dealt with but not that I’ve read this book, I have some new perspectives on anxiety and I’m excited to try out what I learned in this book.

Amazing to realize anxiety is just lack of faith

I loved this audiobook and really listened to it twice actually as I am dealing with anxiety. The stories inside are sooo nice and make you realize that when you put your faith in GOD, it calms your mind and puts you at ease. I will follow the advice.

Bible-Centered, Christ-Centered

This is an amazing audiobook that not only keeps Jesus at the center but is also backed by Scriptures. The author’s vulnerability about his own journey of overcoming anxiety makes this real and relatable. Of all the wonderful revelations, I especially appreciated these keys to experience peace: put Christ on the throne, lean on Him, and never stop gazing upon Him. Absolutely loved the anxiety-renouncing prayer at the end as well! Great resource to read and revisit!
