I always feel like while reading her books she writes as if we were best friends. I was fortunate to be in the launch team for this wonderful book. I have dealt with my own anxiety from many different factors in my life so this book gave me a better perspective of all the past/future times of dealing with my own anxiety.
Becky Thompson gives you the tools you need to feel the peace and hope again of healing your own anxiety and resources to help others as well. I cried in many parts of this book. It was refreshing to know that we are not alone. She ultimately points to gaining hope through our faith, but advocates on other resources we may need to gain peace, hope, and healing which I feel is so important.
This book is wonderful! It touches right on a woman’s heart. Many women suffer from anxiety, many of them being mom’s. As someone who didn’t start with anxiety until after my second child was born, I feel this book is speaking right to my heart. She uses examples, personal experience, and biblical references to help the readers know that they are not alone. Becky Thompson’s new book Peace, will help so many people.
This book is wonderful!! There is not a woman out there that doesn't need to read this book. We all have anxiety at one time or another in life and this author understands that sometimes you need more than prayer. I highly recommend this book. Thank you WaterBrook & Multnomah via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
I've struggled with anxiety for several years now. I have faced people telling me there was no way I could be a christian or have faith in God if I struggled with anxiety. It's always left me feeling a little unsure about my true relationship with God. As I read this book, I realized I was relating on nearly every level with what Becky was writing. I felt a little less alone and understood why it was ok to be a woman of faith and a woman living with anxiety.
Her book, Peace, made me feel a little less alone in things I've panicked about in the past...little and big things...and understand that I was actually completely normal. The scriptures, the examples, and the way she shares her heart brings hope to my heart that I can overcome, be ok with, and trust God in new ways.
This book is for any mama, or grandma who struggles with anxiety, or even if you're single. I honestly think everyone woman could benefit from this book.
In Becky’s book, Peace, she describes different ways anxiety manifests, but also encourages the reader that there is hope found in not only the Lord, but also through modern medicine and counseling as well. I appreciate that she doesn’t just ask for us to “pray it away” because she has dealt with crippling anxiety herself and knows that that’s not helpful to people who suffer with anxiety. Thanks for another great book, Becky!
Peace is a beautifully written, encouraging book. It is for women who struggle with anxiety, especially mothers. It is very encouraging and Becky does a great job using both scripture and science to give advice and support for those struggling with anxiety and juggling the overwhelming demands of life. Becky writes like she's talking right to you. She makes you feel like you're not alone, that you're part of a larger community of women who all have each other's backs.
Thank you to #Netgalley for my digital ARC of #Peace.
This was a wonderful book. I highly suggest it to any mama struggling with anxiety. While those mamas with faith may take extra comfort in all the biblical references, this may help those struggling to find faith as well. I will hold on to this book and go back to it during higher periods of anxiety. Thank you for this resource Becky Thompson!
I was so blessed to receive this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
In this crazy world we are living in, I know my own anxiety has increased. This book is perfectly timed with some thoughtful and practical things to do to help deal with anxiety of any level. I think it is fair to say that most mothers experience anxiety at some level. Thompson is someone who has been through it and is still challenged by anxiety everyday. I like how she is very honest that she still struggles. But, she is also quick to point out that there is still hope. There are many things moms can do to take care of their physical, mental and spiritual selves. She constantly points the reader to God, the ultimate source of hope.
