WE'RE ALL FREAKING OUT (AND WHY WE DON'T NEED TO)

Free yourself from anxiety by discovering and applying principles given by God to lead us away from panic and toward peace.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by panic, fear, worry, or anxiety, you're not alone. A part of the human experience often involves anxious feelings that paralyze us, keep us up at night, rob us of our ability to live in the moment, and pretty much suck the life out of us. But this doesn't have to be the case. You can stop freaking out.

Sound too good to be true? It is true. In fact, it's a promise from God himself.

At least 366 times, the Bible commands us to not fear. God loves us and doesn't want us to be ruled by anxiety. Not surprisingly, most people don't understand what the Bible actually teaches about anxiety, fear, and worry.

Consider this book a practical resource to help you connect the dots between your anxiety and what God has to say about defeating it. As you are about to discover, you really can stop freaking out.

The generation of young adults entering the work world today exhibits the highest level of anxiety in recorded history. The church is not immune to this phenomena. In his work with twenty- and thirty-somethings over the past dozen years, David Marvin has seen firsthand a dramatic increase in the prevalence and severity of anxiety in young adults.
Remedies that provide meaningful, lasting, and real relief have never been more needed. Unfortunately, many Christians and churches are unequipped to provide solutions. Thus, many people needing immediate relief look outside the church to find solutions. Although there are definitely times when clinical alternatives are appropriate or even necessary, they should not be at the exclusion of the knowledge and application of the powerful truths contained in God's Word with specific directives towards experiencing peace and finding freedom from anxiety.

In IMPERFECT PEACE, David shares his own debilitating past struggles with anxiety, along with what he has learned while regularly teaching, counseling, and helping young adults address their worries and adopt habits in their lives to bring about peace. Peace is possible and freedom from anxiety is achievable.
