Description
Advanced Writers and Speakers Associations 2015 Golden Scroll Merit Award Nonfiction 12th Annual Outreach Resource of the Year Recommendation Counseling Our culture is frantic with worry. We stress over circumstances we cant control we talk about whats keeping us up at night and we wring our hands over the fate of disadvantaged people all over the world almost as if to show we care and that we have big things to care about. Worry is part of our culture an expectation of responsible people. And sadly Christians are no different. But we are called to live and think differently from the worried world around us. The fact is worry is sin but we dont seem to take it seriously. It is a spiritual problem which ultimately cannot be overcome with sheer willpowerits solution is rooted entirely in who God is. How can we live life abundantly with joy as God has called us to do when were consumed by anxiety We are commanded not to worry not only in the wellknown words of Jesus recorded in Matthew 6 but also throughout the Old Testament and the epistles to the church. The Bible makes it clear that the future belongs only to God who rules and is not subject to the limitations of time. To live with joy and contentment trusting God with the present and the future is a countercultural feat that can be accomplished only through him. Challenging the idolatrous underpinnings of worry former Christianity Today executive Amy Simpson encourages us to root our faith in who God is not in our own will power. We dont often give much thought to why worry offends God but indulging anxiety binds us to mere possibilities and blinds us to the truth. Correctly understanding the theology of worry is critical to true transformation. This is a book not just for people who worry this is a call to the church to turn its eyes from the things of earth and fix its eyes on the author and completer of our faith. show more
